Once in a Lifetime Thing

Boy, we had our share of the sun
Ooh, and we had our days dipped in fun
And we really, really gave it
One heck of a try
(I tried, you tried, you know we tried)
And when the laughter had stopped ringing
Our sun had fallen from my sky
(Fallen, fallen from my sky)

All the dreams (all the dreams)
We planned to chase
Ooh, then we let them all
Go to waste
It hurts to think
Of just how close we came
To finding that once in a lifetime thing

(Ooh, one in a lifetime, once in a lifetime thing)

All the life (all the life)
We planned to taste
Was swallowed up by
Time and space

Ooh, Lord, ooh, Lord, it hurts to think
Of just how close we came
(We almost found, yes we did, we almost found)
We almost found that once in a lifetime thing

Yeah, hey, hey, it hurts to think
Aww, of just how close we came
(We almost found, yes we did, we almost found)
Ya know, we almost found that once in a lifetime thing
(Ooh, ooh, whoa)
