Only Once Lyrics

When I was very young and life was new
My world was always full of dreams
Growing old was far away
Though tomorrow's yesterday,
Nothing is the way it seems
I knew that some 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
Didn't count on meeting you

Only once
I always thought that love came only once
That when you fell, you fell in love to stay
Then all at once I realized it isn't so
That love can come and love can go
it happens every day

He was mine
With him I found a world that wouldn't end
Or so I thought right up until today,

Now all at once I looked across and
saw you there, and suddenly I knew
Nothing I could
would make me look away.
Now all at once I looked across and
saw you there, and suddenly I knew
Nothing I could
would make me look away.

Now all at once I looked across and
saw you there, and suddenly I knew
Nothing I could
would make me look away.
