once in a while

Madeleine Peyroux

From bad luck i'm walking away
I'm not getting stuck
I'm not gonna stay

To good things i'm moving ahead
I'm tired of dying
I'm living instead

Once in a while i wake up
Wondering why we gave up
But once in a while
Comes and it fades away

The sun's up and lighting the sky
I never could see it
It just passed me by

Good things keep moving along
I'm not looking backward
For something that's gone

Once in a while
I'll wake up
Wondering why we gave up
But once and a while
Comes and fades away

I don't know what love is
I'm selfish and lazy
And when i get scared i can act like i'm crazy
But when i think of your kisses
I'm still gonna smile
I'm still gonna miss you
Once in a while
Once in a while

Once in a while i'll wake up
Wondering why we gave up
But once in a while
Comes and it fades away

Good things keep moving ahead
I'm tired of dying i'm living instead
