For Once In My Life

Ella Fitzgerald · Live From The Cave Super Club - May 19 1968 [1999]

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

Someone I've needed so long

For once unafraid I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know I'll be strong



For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew

Someone warm like you



Could make my dreams come true



For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

Not like it's hurt me before

For once I've got someone I know won't desert me

And I'm not alone anymore



For once I can say: ;this is mine you can't take it;

As long as I've got love I know I can make it

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
