Only Once In A Lifetime Lyrics

You ask me if someday
You'll hear me say goodbye
I couldnt walk away
If I tried.

Oh I know
My feelings go
unspoken sometimes

Chorus
You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.

I hold you close to me
And our love comes alive
I never dreamed I could be
so satisfied

If fate is kind
Just once we find
Such heaven in this life
Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I might see lightening strike
twice in the same place
But I know I'd never see
Love like you've given me.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
