Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire

Burning in my heart
For the very first time
She was scared and young

And had never tasted love
But a woman took my hand
And turned a boy into a man

Once upon a lifetime

And once upon a lifetime

You hold the
Queen of Hearts
And if you gamble

On a diamond win
The dealin' starts


You stand to lose it all
As the cards
Begin to fall

And the lesson
Learned is hard
You're only dealt

The Queen of Cards
Once upon a lifetime


So if you're taking chances,
Know the chance you take
A broken heart's

A high price to pay
Foolish ways will
Make fools of the wise

And the best things
Seldom come along twice


Once upon a lifetime
You know that
You've been blessed

When you hold
Your first born tenderly
Against your chest


And through the
Innocence you see

The value of a family
And you feel
A special bond

That only comes along
Once upon a lifetime


So if you're taking chances,
Know the chance you take
A broken heart's

A high price to pay
Foolish ways will make
Fools of the wise

And the best things
Seldom come along twice
And people only find

Love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
