only in a lifetime

Kenny Rogers

You ask me if someday
You'll hear me say goodbye
I couldnt walk away
If I tried.

Oh I know
My feelings go
unspoken sometimes

Chorus
You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.

I hold you close to me
And our love comes alive
I never dreamed I could be
so satisfied

If fate is kind
Just once we find
Such heaven in this life
Repeat Chorus

I might see lightening strike
twice in the same place
But I know I'd never see
Love like you've given me.
