Once in a Lifetime - Smokie Norful

As a little boy I used to dream of the big stage

Couldn’t wait to see my name in lights

I had a dream so big, it made a mountain look small

Couldn’t wait till I had it all

The closer I’d get, the more distant I’d feel

The more I thought I had, the less it all seemed real

Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts

And I can’t imagine my life without you

Once in a lifetime you find a love you know is real

Once in a lifetime you find something that makes your song live

Once in a lifetime you find a friendship that’s worth the wait

Once in a lifetime you find joy you can’t replace

I used to think that it was the trophies on my wall

Thought if I won then I’d have it all

And I couldn’t wait till everybody knew my name

I had my own idea of fame

The closer I’d get, the more distant I’d feel

The more I thought I had, the less it all seemed real

Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts

I can’t imagine my life without you

Once in a lifetime you find a love you can’t let go

Once in a lifetime you find the purpose to live on

Once in a lifetime you find the meaning of your dreams

And once in a lifetime you find the one who gives life meaning

Once in a lifetime you find a love you know is real

Once in a lifetime you find something that makes your song live

Once in a lifetime you find a friendship that’s worth the wait

Once in a lifetime you find joy you can’t replace

Once in a lifetime I’ve found the best thing I know

Once in lifetime there’s no sign of letting go

Once in a lifetime I wouldn’t change a single thing

Once in a lifetime you made my whole world sing

I’ll never look beyond your love again

Because I know what I’ve found is truth

Though I’ve searched in every place to find a thing that makes life complete,

Now I know Lord that thing is You…
