One 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.
They say when you find the one
There'll be no second guessing
You'd feel it deep in your heart
You'll know that it was destined
The feelin inside will let you know
Something that you cant deny just let it grow
They say it's better to love than never love at all
To appreciate all the good sometimes you gotta fall
But I was foolish
I shouldn't let you go
But now I miss you
I gotta let you know
I need you back back in my life
I need your kiss kiss in my life
And its been so long since you been gone
Baby wont you come back home
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real it's hard to say why
One one love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you
They say that pleasure comes with pain
And i'm so used to being whole it's hard to be half again
And you gotta feel the same way
My tears are steady falling like a pouring rain
Tell me will the forecast change (one)
If you love somebody gotta let'em know
Tomorrow's never promised you gotta let it show
If you love somebody you gotta let'em know
Tomorrow's never promised you gotta let it show
I need you back back in my life
I need your kiss kiss in my life
And its been so long since you been gone
Baby wont you come back home
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real it's hard to say why
One one love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you (that one)
And that one is you (that one)
And that one is you (that one)
And that one is you (that one)
Is you
I will climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest oceans for you you you (cause you are the one)
I will walk across the desert
Just to get that message to you you you (cause you are the one)
There ain't a thing in this world that I wouldn't do
Right hand to the man
Boy I'm tellin the truth
So all my ladies if you feel me
Then put your hands up for that one
For that one
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real it's hard to say why
One one love
One in a lifetime
