Once Upon A Lifetime
Alabama
Album: American Pride
Once upon a lifetime I looked in someone`s eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart for the very first time
She was scared and young and had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand and a boy became a man
Once upon a lifetime
And once upon a lifetime you hold the queen of hearts
But if you gamble on a diamond when the dealing starts
You stand to lose it all as the cards begin to fall
And the lesson learned is hard you`re only dealt the queen of hearts
Once upon a lifetime
So if you`re taking chances know the chance you take
A broken heart`s a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice
Once upon a lifetime you know that you`ve been blessed
When you hold your first born tenderly against your chest
Through the innocence you see there you are the family
And you feel a special bond that only comes along
Once upon a lifetime
So if you`re taking chances know the chance you take
A broken heart`s a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice
And people only find a love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
