Only Once

I knew that one day i would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could i know what lay ahead
Life played games with me instead
Didn't count on meeting you

Only once I always thought that love came only once
That when you fell, you fell in love to stay

Now all at once I realize this isn't so
That love can come and love can go
It happens everyday

She was mine, with her I found a world that couldn't end
Oh, so I thought, right up until today

Then only once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew nothing I could do
Would make me look away

Oh, so I thought, right up until today
Then only once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew nothing I could do
Would make me look away
