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
|
And if you gamble
|
On a diamond win
|
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 Cards
|
Once upon a lifetime
|
|
So if you're taking chances,
|
Know the chance you take
|
A broken heart's
|
A high price to pay
|
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 first born 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 taking chances,
|
Know the chance you take
|
A broken heart's
|
A high price to pay
|
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
|
