You needed your freedom, I thought that I needed mine We both were too young to know, we shouldn`t let it go We went our own ways, and time passed us by Now when I think of those schooldays, I realize
Chorus: Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one in a million) Our love was that special kind that`s so hard to find, but we didn`t realize
Yesterday in and out another town, suddenly saw your face Right out there in the crowd You said you were happy, you got someone who treats you right And I recognize that fire in your eyes, oh girl you should be mine, `cos
(chorus)
Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one in a million)
I`ve had my share of love, oh I know how to play the game But there [a feeling gained], I`ve never been the same No never been the same, never been the same
Once in a lifetime, one in a million I know I`m just chasing dreams and I just can`t seem to get you off my mind
Once in a lifetime, one in a million... (repeats out)
