Once Upon A Lifetime Lyrics

The song Once Upon A Lifetime is performed by Alabama in the album named For the Record: 41 Number One Hits in the year 1998 .



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 win the dealin' 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
And through the innocence you see the value of a 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 love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
