Only Once

When I was very young and life was new
My world was always full of wings
Growing old was far away
No tomorrows, just today
Nothing is the way it seemed
I knew that one day I would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could I know what lay here
Life played games with me instead
I DidnÕt count on meeting you

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

She was mine with her I found a world that could not end
Or so I thought right up until today
and only once I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew there was nothing I could do
to make me look away

She was mine with her I found a world that could not end
And so I thought right up until today
And only once I looked across and saw you there
Suddenly I knew there was nothing I could do
To Make me look away

Only Once
