It all came so easy

All the loving you gave me

The feelings we shared

And I still can remember

How your touch was so tender

It told me you cared

We had a once in a lifetime

But I just couldn't see

Until it was gone

A second once in a lifetime

May be too much to ask

But I swear from now on

 

If ever you're in my arms again

This time I'll love you much better

If ever you're in my arms again

This time I'll hold you forever

This time we'll never end

 

Now I'm seen clearly

How I still need you near me

I still love you so

There's something between us

That won't ever leave us

There's no letting go

We had a once in a lifetime

But I just didn't know it

Till my life fell apart

A second once in a lifetime

Isn't too much to ask

'Cause I swear from the heart

Never end

 

The best of romances

Deserve second chances

I'll get to you somehow

'Cause I promise now.
