One day your story will be told
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
One day they'll make you glorious
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame
And it all comes round

Once in a lifetime like it always does
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon
And they'll say told you so
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

One day they'll tell you that you've changed
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare
One day you'll hope to make the grave
Before the papers choose to send you there
And it all comes round

Once in a lifetime like it always does
Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon

And they'll say told you so
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars
And they'll say told you so
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars
