Once In A Lifetime

Oleta Adams

Compositor: Kathy Wakefield / Oleta Adams / Vassal Benford

Looking at you
I can't believe
After all this time
You've come to me

I've searched the whole world over
I've searched far and wide
Just to be in one place
Right here by your side

And so many nights, baby
I've been wasting my time
On love untrue
Waiting for you
I've been watching for someone, baby
And I didn't know who
Something inside of me told me it was you
I knew

I knew that once in a lifetime
I'd find someone like you
And for once in my life someone's found me too
I knew that once in a lifetime
I'd find love again
Let our story of love begin... never end

[Musical interlude]

I wish I could tell you
How you changed my heart
like a thousand lights
in the midst of the dark

And so many nights, baby
I've been wasting my time
On love untrue
Waiting for you
I've been watching for someone, baby
And I didn't know who
Something inside of me told me it was you
I knew

[To chorus]

I was praying so hard for you, yes I have
Tryin' to get through to you, Oh Baby
I was watching for somebody, Boy
Something inside of me told me it had to be you
I knew
