All At Once Lyrics

All at once
I finally took a moment
And I'm realizing that
You're not coming back
And it's finally hit me all at once
All at once I've started counting teardrops
And at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once I looked around and found that you were
Somewhere else
In another world
And all my dreams were shattered all at once
All at once the smile that used to greet me
Brightened someone else's day
They took your smile away
And left me with just memories all at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more

Cover art for All At Once lyrics by Whitney Houston

this is really one of her most underrated songs...

Cover art for All At Once lyrics by Whitney Houston

My mother committed suicide when I was 14. For awhile, I was in denial about it. I hoped it was just a bad dream or something. When I came to reality that she was really gone, I thought of this song, especially the first verse. The emotions all came at once and it was like my childhood ended at that moment.

That was 15 years ago.
