Lyrics

Once in a Lifetime

Once in a lifetime, it's just right We make no mistakes Not even the landslide or riptide Could take it all the way Somehow, it feels like nothing has changed Right now, my heart is beating the same Out loud, someone's calling my name It sounds like you When I close my eyes All the stars align And you are by my side You are by my side Once in a lifetime, it's just right We are always safe Not even the bad guys in the dark night Could take it all the way Somehow, it feels like nothing has changed Right now, my heart is beating the same Out loud, someone's calling my name And it sounds like you When I close my eyes All the stars align And you are by my side You are by my side You are by my side You are by my side Once in a lifetime, you were mine

Every month, Dork's Listmaster General will bring us another of his Top 10 lists. Every month, we'll disagree. It's 'fun'.
