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 begins to fall An the lesson learned is hard You´re only dealt the queen of hearts Once upon a lifetime
So if your taking chances know the chance you take A broken hearts a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise And the best thing 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 The innocent you see The value of a family And you feel a special bond That only comes a long Once upon a lifetime
So if you taking chances know the chance you take A broken heart a high price to pay Foolish ways will make fool´s 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
