Carmen McRae
For Once In My Life
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I’ve needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I’ll be strong
For once I can touch, what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something I know won't desert me
I’m not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine you can’t take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
For once I can say
This is mine you can’t take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
