Lyrics
ONCE IN MY LIFE
Written by Rich Genszler
Ac 1988 BMI
THE CHANGE IN MY LIFE THE DAY I FOUND
THAT SIMPLE THINGS CAN MEAN THE MOST
WHENEVER YOU'RE AROUND.
YOU LOOK AT ME, I START TO FEEL
THE MOMENT WHEN WE CLING TOGETHER
EVERYTHING'S SO REAL.
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU
LIKE I LOVE YOU TONIGHT.
WE RUN AWAY SO WE CAN PLAY
AND LAUGH INSIDE OUR OUR CRAZY WORLD,
IF ONLY FOR A DAY.
WE NEVER KNOW WHAT WE WILL FIND
INSIDE OURSELVES WHEN WE ARE CLOSE,
IT'S DIFFERENT EVERY TIME!
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU
LIKE I LOVE YOU TONIGHT.
THE WARMTH WHEN I HOLD YOU,
AND YOUR REMINISCING SMILE,
MAKE ME WISH THAT EACH MOMENT WITH YOU
LASTS A LONG LONG WHILE.
I CAN'T HOLD BACK NOW,
WANTING ALL MY TIME WITH YOU
TO SHARE IN EVERYTHING WE SAY,
EVERYTHING THAT WE SAY AND DO.
NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE - ANOTHER CHANGE.
THE DAYS JUST COME AND DRIFT AWAY.
MY LIFE'S BEEN REARRANGED.
ASLEEP AT NIGHT I DREAM YOUR NAME.
IT'S LONELY HERE WITHOUT YOU,
BUT MY FEELINGS STAY THE SAME
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU
LIKE I LOVE YOU TONIGHT.
THE WARMTH WHEN I HOLD YOU,
AND YOUR REMINISCING SMILE,
MAKE ME WISH THAT EACH MOMENT WITH YOU
LASTS A LONG LONG WHILE.
I CAN'T HOLD BACK NOW,
WANTING ALL MY TIME WITH YOU
TO SHARE IN EVERYTHING WE SAY,
EVERYTHING THAT WE SAY AND DO.
ONCE IN MY LIFE...
