Lyrics
Once In a While
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.
The horses run once in a while for you
The shades will drop once in a while for you
Destiny will hide the sense of your touch
Once in a while
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
The soldiers will fall once in a while for you
The shades will crawl once in a while for you
You'll take the waltz
I will take the refrain
Once in a while
More than a while it's you
Once in a while it's you
Once in a while
You'll make it all your own
You'll make it so i won't
Feel so alone
And you'll try to care once in a while for me
And i will be there once in a while
More than a while for you
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
