It Only Happens Once
Frankie Laine
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!
