Once, and only once The one and only comes along Once you took my hand I felt your touch and I was strong No wonder other simple love Was not too clear to me Though you were dear to me I walked away Who knew that once I knew your arms Your arms would bind me to the past I, who used to say That nothing in the world could last We live but once And now I know my once was then Please take me back And love me once again We live but once And now I know my once was then Please take me back And love me once again
