Nancy Wilson
Once in My Lifetime
[Intro]
The bird of June, I'm in my room
I'm sitting at the window writing letters
Dearest love
[Verse 1]
Once in a lifetime of pain and care
Someone touches your heart
With a touch so rare
That your story book dreams all come true
And the whole world is born anew
[Verse 2]
Once in a lifetime of shadows and lies
Someone loves you with a love
That is honest and wise
And you learn that your soul can take wings
Like a bird with a spring song to sing
[Bridge]
The storms may rage
The winds may blow
The fires may burn
But still I know
[Verse 3]
That once in my lifеtime of doubts and fears
You came to my door
And you driеd my tears
Now I treasure each leaf on its tree
Love has opened my eyes, I can see
[Outro]
And now I close, my love, my friend
But what we've known together, oh, my darling
Have no end
