Once Upon a Lifetime - Alabama

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

But if you gamble on a diamond when the dealing 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 hearts

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

Through the innocence you see there you are the 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 a love like yours and mine

Once upon a lifetime
