Once - Ferlin Husky

I turned 33 in a Canada and wasn’t even carded

Drinking to the newly born and souls of the departed

Oh my Jesus you be damned it feels like I’m just getting started

The older I become I see it’s all related

The pleasures they get simpler and the troubles more complicated

But I don’t ask for all that much long as I don’t have to fake it

Everyone should know this kind of love once in a lifetime ooonce

Everyone should know this kind of love once in a lifetime ooonce

You raised the walls around my heart I never knew were there

The unexpected answer to some unintended prayer

And I’ve done nothing to deserve it is a cross that I will

Gladly bear

Everyone should know this kind of love once in a lifetime ooonce

Everyone should know this kind of love once in a lifetime ooonce

Why do we keep living looking for an answer from above

Look at all we’ve been given and tell me it isn’t enough

Shouldn’t this be enough

Oh 1 and 1 make 2 and now the 2 make 3

I wanna show you all I know but somehow you’re teaching me

It takes everything I’ve got to just sit back and let it be

Oh to just sit back and let it…

Everyone should know this kind of love once in a lifetime ooonce

Everyone should know this kind of love once in a lifetime ooonce

Oooooonce

Ooooooonce

Ooooonce

Ah ya la da da da da da duh
