In A Lifetime

You never realize
How you throw your love away
You never know how much it hurts
Living without love
I was the one
Who wandered on my own
Looking for some familiar road
I was a diamond man at night
I was a fool that couldn't believe at all
Then I met you once again
And you showed me you can't give
Until you're strong enough to love
How could I begin
With no foundation in my heart
And it wasn't until I saw
My life in your eyes
At last I've found true love
Without someone to love, without someone
There's no reason to live
At last I've found true love
In a lifetime
----- * -----
It's never the same
When your dreams have gone away
A day seems like a year
When your love has disappeared
I'm suddenly more aware of you
N' all the things that I've got to do
I'm yours forever and you're mine
And I just don't want to waste another
Day of time
At last I've found true love
Without someone to love, without someone
There's no reason to live
At last I've found true love
In a lifetime
There was a time, there was a time
I got caught in the middle
Of the darkest night - suddenly
Suddenly I could feel
A power so divine
Oh don't you ever deny my heart
And all the things love stands for
'Cos there's no way
I could ever find a love so right
Not in any other lifetime
I believe this love's so right
At last I've found true love
Without someone to love, without someone
There's no reason to live
At last I've found true love
True love
True love
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
At last I've found true love
Without someone to love
There's no reason at all
