Once In A Lifetime
Michael Bolton · Other Songs - Michael Bolton
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
CHORUS:
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,
To find the love that's meant to be
CHORUS
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
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...
