Once - Mark Erelli Lyrics
Once
Drinking to the newly born and souls of the departed
Oh my Jesus year be damned
it feels like I'm just getting started
The older I become I see it's all related
Pleasures they get simpler and the troubles more complicated
But I don't ask for all that much
'long as I don't have to fake it
Once in a lifetime
Once
Everyone should know this kind of love
Once in a lifetime
Once
You razed the walls around my heart I never knew were there
The unexpected answer to some unintended prayer
That I've done nothing to deserve it
is a cross that I will gladly bear
(Chorus)
Oh one and one make two and now the two make three
I want to show you all I know but somehow you're teaching me
And it takes everything I got
to just sit back and let it be
Oh to just sit back and let itβ¦
Everyone should know this kind of love
Once in a lifetime
Once
Everyone should know this kind of love
Once in a lifetime
Once
Once
Once
