Only Once Lyrics

When I was very young and life full
My world was always full of dreams
Growing old was far away
No tomorrow, yesterdays
Nothing is the way it seems

I knew that one day I would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could I know what lay ahead
Life played games with me instead
Didnt count on meeting you

Only once
I always thought love came only once
that when you fell
you fell in love to stay
now all at once I realized this isnt so
That love can come and love can go
it happens every day


She was mine with her I found a world that couldnt end
Or so I thought right up until today
Then all at once I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew nothing I could do
Would make me look away
