ONCE IN A LIFETIME THING
(J. Foster / W. Rice)

John Wesley Ryles - 1977


There'll never be another you
To come my way again
Your love has answered all my prayers
Don't ever let it end

I need your love to make me live
Like a rose needs the rain
I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause you're a once in a lifetime thing

You've given me the sweetest love
That I have ever known
I've waited all my life for you
And you finally came along

There's nothin' about your precious love
I'd ever want to change
And I won't ever give you up
'Cause you're a once in a lifetime thing

In the dark of night
You turned your light on me
You lit up my life
And taught me to believe

I'm locked inside your lovin' arms
Held by velvet strings
I've never known a love so warm
You're a once in a lifetime thing

(Instrumental Break)

In the dark of night
You turned your light on me
You lit up my life
And taught me to believe

I'm locked inside your lovin' arms
Held by velvet strings
I've never known a love so warm
You're a once in a lifetime thing

I have never known a love so warm
You're a once in a lifetime thing
