Once Upon A Lifetime

|
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 dealing 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 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
|
Through the innocence you see there you are the 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 a love like yours and mine
|
Once upon a lifetime
