Once in a Lifetime Lyrics

I remember the nights we were young and bold

Tangled up, tight against the cold

In every laugh, every whispered line

I felt the spark, thought you were mine

I knew we'd break, knew I would fall

But I'd do it again, risk it all

'Cause once in a lifetime you feel this way

Holding a love that's bound to fray

And even as it turns to dust

I'd keep the faith, I'd keep the trust

Though I'm left with empty hands

It's the price of love, I understand

I'd watch you dancing in bare feet

To broken records, slow and sweet

You'd close your eyes, sway side to side

And I'd be yours, no place to hide

I'd trade all my tomorrows to go back

To nights we burned before the cracks

'Cause once in a lifetime you feel this way

Holding a love that's bound to stray

And even as we fade like sand

I'd give it all, I'd take that stand

Though I'm left with empty hands

It's the price of love, I understand

They say hearts heal, they say time forgives

But we know how each memory lives

In every shadow, in every song

You were my right kind of wrong

Once in a lifetime you know it's true

You feel a love that's just for you

And even as it slips like grains

I'd hold you close, ignore the chains

Though I'm left with empty hands

It's the price of love, I understand

So here's to us, to what we had

A love so bright it drove us mad

If I had to lose to feel it all

I'd do it again after every fall
