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
