You needed your freedom, I thought that I needed mine

We both were too young to know, we shouldn't let it go

We went our own ways, and time passed us by

Now when I think of those schooldays, I realize



Chorus:

Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one in a million)

Our love was that special kind that's so hard to find, but we didn't realize



Yesterday in and out another town, suddenly saw your face

Right out there in the crowd

You said you were happy, you got someone who treats you right

And I recognize that fire in your eyes, oh girl you should be mine, 'cos



(chorus)



Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one in a million)



I've had my share of love, oh I know how to play the game

But there [a feeling gained], I've never been the same

No never been the same, never been the same



Once in a lifetime, one in a million

I know I'm just chasing dreams and I just can't seem to get you off my mind



Once in a lifetime, one in a million... (repeats out)
