It all came so easy All the loving you gave me The feelings we shared And I still can remember How your touch was so tender It told me you cared We had a once in a lifetime But I just couldn't see Until it was gone A second once in a lifetime May be too much to ask But I swear from now on If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll love you much better If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll hold you forever This time we'll never end Now I'm seen clearly How I still need you near me I still love you so There's something between us That won't ever leave us There's no letting go We had a once in a lifetime But I just didn't know it 'Til my life fell apart A second once in a lifetime Isn't too much to ask 'Cause I swear from the heart If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll love you much better If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll hold you forever This time we'll never end Now I'm seen clearly How I still need you near me I still love you so There's something between us Never end The best of romances Deserve second chances I'll get to you somehow 'Cause I promise now
