Ralph Tresvant
Once in a Lifetime Groove (Extended Version)
[Intro: New Edition, Ralph Tresvant]
Groove
Ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant]
I see you standing there
So lost and all alone
I wanna take you in my arms
And tell you that you're home
I look into your eyes
I know you very well
I see a mirror of my life
A reflection of myself
[Pre-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And in between you gotta make it seem like somethin' counts
You're seachin' here, you're searchin' there
For the dream that'll make you seem like someone cares
[Chorus: New Edition, Ralph Tresvant]
Reach out and touch
The love that I have for you
'Cause this kinda love
Is a once in a lifetime groove (Oh, girl, yeah)
[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
You wanna take a chance
I see it on your face
You know my love's the answer
Girl, don't be afraid
I know just what to do
To be your shining star
I know just how to rescue you
'Cause I've been where you are
[Pre-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And in between you gotta find a dream that makes life count
You're seachin' here, you're searchin' there
Your look is done, you found a lover and someone who cares
[Chorus: New Edition, Ralph Tresvant]
This kinda love
Is a once in a lifetime groove (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Cause this kinda love
Is a once in a lifetime groove (Yeah)
Reach out and touch
The love that I have for you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Cause this kinda love
Is a once in a lifetime groove (Yeah, ooh)
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain: Ralph Tresvant & (Ralph, New Edition)]
(Groove)
This kinda love
This kinda love (Ooh)
(Groove, groove)
This kinda love
This kinda love
[Pre-Chorus: (Ralph) & Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
(The sun comes up) The sun comes up, the sun goes down (Sun goes down)
You're tryin' to make life count, girl
(You're seachin' here) You're seachin' here, you're searchin' there (Searchin' there)
To find someone who cares, hey, baby, ah yeah
[Chorus: New Edition, Ralph Tresvant]
'Cause this kinda love
Is a once in a lifetime groove (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
