ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
I LOOKED IN
SOMEONE'S EYES
AND FELT THE FIRE
BURNING IN MY HEART
FOR THE VERY
FIRST TIME
SHE WAS SCARED
AND YOUNG
AND HAD NEVER
TASTED LOVE
SO I TOOK HER
BY THE HAND
AND A BOY
BECAME A MAN
ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
AND ONCE UPON
A LIFETIME
YOU HOLD THE
QUEEN OF HEARTS
BUT IF YOU GAMBLE
ON A DIAMOND WHEN
THE DEALIN' STARTS
YOU STAND TO
LOSE IT ALL
AS THE CARDS
BEGIN TO FALL
AND THE LESSON
LEARNED IS HARD
YOU'RE ONLY DEALT
THE QUEEN OF HEARTS
ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
SO IF YOU'RE
TAKIN' CHANCES
KNOW THE CHANCE
YOU TAKE
A BROKEN HEART'S
A HIGH PRICE TO PAY
AND FOOLISH WAYS
WILL MAKE FOOLS
OF THE WISE
AND THE BEST THINGS
SELDOM
COME ALONG TWICE
ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
YOU KNOW THAT
YOU'VE BEEN BLESSED
WHEN YOU HOLD YOUR
FIRSTBORN TENDERLY
AGAINST YOUR CHEST
AND THROUGH THE
INNOCENCE YOU SEE
THE VALUE OF A FAMILY
AND YOU FEEL
A SPECIAL BOND
THAT ONLY
COMES ALONG
ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
SO IF YOU'RE
TAKIN' CHANCES
KNOW THE CHANCE
YOU TAKE
A BROKEN HEART'S
A HIGH PRICE TO PAY
AND FOOLISH WAYS
WILL MAKE FOOLS
OF THE WISE
AND THE BEST THINGS
SELDOM
COME ALONG TWICE
AND PEOPLE
ONLY FIND
LOVE LIKE
YOURS AND MINE
ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
