One Upon A Lifetime

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
And if you gamble
On a diamond win
The dealin´ 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 Cards
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

And through the
Innocence you see
The value of a 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
Love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
