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!
