Lyrics
Once A
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day all day long and once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone is once a day every day all day long
[ steel ]
I'm so glad that I'm not like a man I knew one time
He lost the one he loved then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away lucky me I'm only crying once a day
Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long
