Just once in a lifetime
There's one special moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes your hand
And this is the moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore
A new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As tho' I had wings

For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And tho' it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

Just once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings

For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And tho' it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
(Anthony Newley / Leslie Bricusse)

Sammy Davis Jr.


Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things
