Once In a Lifetime
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.
Some people fill their lives with empty nights
And days that slip away
Some search till the end of time
But never find the open arms of fate
One moment comes along
Someone who's a dream to you
And all at once your dreams come true
Once in a lifetime, you find the one you really love
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one
Love you find, just once in a lifetime
Some people live their lives in compromise
And hide their dreams away
Some never take the chance within their hands
To claim the prize they make
When faith is all you need
To hold the hand of destiny
And find the love that's meant to be
Once in a lifetime, you find the one you really love
For now and forever one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one
Love you find, just once in a lifetime
If you believe in the power of love
And you believe that dreams come true
Magic will fill your heart when that moment comes along
Just once in your life
Once in a lifetime
You find the one you really love
For now and forever one love that never ends
Just once in a lifetime
When every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason
Leading you home to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Just once in a lifetime, ooh yeah
The one you really love, the one you really love
Just once in a lifetime, oh
Once in a lifetime, ooh
