It Only Happens Once - Nat King Cole
It only happens once
I'll never feel that thrill again
It only happens once
Why couldn't I have known it then
Since I lost you dear one
Nothing seems to be the same
I tried hard but it's no use
My heart won't play the game
It only happens once
I realize that now is past
And I was such a dunce
Because I couldn't make it last
Why go on pretending
I just can't love someone new
It only happens once
And for me that once was you
Why go on pretending
I just can't love someone new
It only happens once
And for me that once was you
