Once in a lifetime
does someone come along
who makes you feel just right.
She seems to fit into your song
and make your heart take flight.
Just when you thought it would never happen,
you meet from across the room.
You knew it when your eyes met hers
and you thought you smelt perfume.
You ask her to dance that last slow song,
then she'd be gone from your life.
Little did you know that one day soon
she would be your wife.
You hold her and tell her
just what you feel;
she makes your whole world seem bright.
You close your eyes and it's as if
she's never left your sight.
