Mel Torme (#3);
Vic Damone (#6); Tommy Dorsey (#6); Art Moony (#7); and Vera
Lynn (#23)


Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in
a lifetime
This is the thrill divine

What's more, this never happened
before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would
suddenly be mine

Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so
near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear,
for

When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment
forever
But never, never again (never, never)
We'll have this moment for
ev er
But never, never again (never, never)
