Once In A Lifetime Lyrics - Once In A Lifetime - Smokie Norful

As a little boy I used to dream of the big stage 

Couldn't wait to see my name in lights 

I had a dream so big, it made a mountain look small 

Couldn't wait till I had it all 

The closer I'd get, the more distant I'd feel 

The more I thought I had, the less it all seemed real 

Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts 

And I can't imagine my life without you 

Chorus: 

Once in a lifetime, you find a love you know is real 

Once in a lifetime, you find something that makes your song live 

Once in a lifetime, you find a friendship that's worth the wait 

Once in a lifetime, you find joy you can't replace 

I used to think that it was the trophies on my wall 

Thought if I won then I'd have it all 

And I couldn't wait till everybody knew my name 

I had my own idea of fame 

The closer I'd get, the more distant I'd feel 

The more that I thought I had, the less it all seemed real 

Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts 

And I can't imagine my life without you 

Chorus: 

Once in a lifetime, you find a love you can't let go 

Once in a lifetime, you find the purpose to live on 

Once in a lifetime, you find the meaning of your dreams 

And once in a lifetime, you find the one who gives life meaning 

Once in a lifetime, you find a love you know is real 

Once in a lifetime, you find something that makes your song live 

Once in a lifetime, you find a friendship that's worth the wait 

Once in a lifetime, you find joy you can't replace 

Once in a lifetime, I've found the best thing I know 

Once in lifetime ,there's no sign of letting go 

Once in a lifetime, I wouldn't change a single thing 

Once in a lifetime, you made my whole world sing 

I'll never look beyond your love again 

Because I know what I've found is truth 

Though I've searched in every place to find the thing that makes life complete, 

Now I know Lord that thing is You
