Once Upon |
|
A Lifetime |
|
Alabama Album: |
|
American Pride |
|
Once upon a lifetime |
|
I looked in someone's eyes |
|
And felt the fire burning in my heart for the very first time |
|
She was scared and young and had never tasted love |
|
So I took her by the hand and a boy became a man |
|
Once upon a lifetime |
|
And once upon a lifetime you hold the queen of hearts |
|
But if you gamble on a diamond when the dealing starts |
|
You stand to lose it all as the cards begin to fall |
|
And the lesson learned is hard you're only dealt the queen of hearts |
|
Once upon a lifetime |
|
So if you're taking chances know the chance you take |
|
A broken heart's a high price to pay |
|
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise |
|
And the best things seldom come along twice |
|
Once upon a lifetime you know that you've been blessed |
|
When you hold your first born tenderly against your chest |
|
Through the innocence you see there you are the family |
|
And you feel a special bond that only comes along |
|
Once upon a lifetime |
|
So if you're taking chances know the chance you take |
|
A broken heart's a high price to pay |
|
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise |
|
And the best things seldom come along twice |
|
And people only find a love like yours and mine |
|
Once upon a lifetime |
