Lyrics
Once and only once
The one and only comes along
Once you took my hand
I felt your touch and I was strong
The wonder of a simple love
Was not too clear to me
Though you were dear to me I walked away
Who knew that once I knew your arms
Your arms would bind me to the past?
I who used to say that nothing in the world could last
We live but once and now I know my once was then
Please take me back and love me once again
