Bobby Barth: Once in a lifetime [lyrics]

Bobby Barth

Once in a lifetime

It's not fair, you're takin' me by surprise

It's like you're appearin' right before my eyes

I didn't stand a chance

It's forever in a glance

And it's only once in a lifetime, baby

That someone like you comes along

Once, once in a lifetime

There was a time it seemed I was looking in vain

And there in the night, I heard someone call out my name

You reached to take my hand

But did you understand

That it's only once in a lifetime, baby

That someone like you comes along

Once, once in a lifetime

Not something that we pick or choose

(Baby, we can't pick or choose)

It's not something I intend to lose

Only once (only once) in a lifetime, baby

That someone like you comes along

Once in a lifetime

(Only once in a lifetime)

That someone like you comes

Only once (only once) in a lifetime, baby

That someone like you comes along

Once in a lifetime

(Only once in a lifetime)

It's only once (only once) in a lifetime, baby

That someone like you comes along

Once in a lifetime

(Only once in a lifetime)

It's only once (only once) in a lifetime, baby
