Once

lyrics

I turned 33 in Canada and wasn't even carded
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

Everyone should know this kind of love
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 it…

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
