And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?
Well, how did I get here?

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife
Not my beautiful wife

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

The same as it ever was
The same as it ever was
The same as it ever was

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? Or am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself
My god, what have I done?
What have I done?

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Michael Bolton Lyrics

"Once In A Lifetime"

Some people fill their lives with empty nights
And days that slip away
Some search till the end of time
But never find the open arms of fate
One moment comes along
Someone who's a dream to you
And all at once your dreams come true

Once in a lifetime you find the one you really love
For now and forever one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one
Love you find just once in a lifetime

Some people live their lives in compromise
And hide their dreams away
Some never take the chance within their hands
To claim the prize they make
When faith is all you need
To hold the hand of destiny
To find the love that's meant to be

If you believe in the power of love
And you believe that dreams come true
Magic will fill your heart when that moment comes along
Just once in your life

Once in a lifetime
You find the one you really love
For now and forever one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime
When every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason
Leading you home to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Just once in a lifetime... ooh yeah
The one you really love, the one you really love
Just once in a lifetime... oh
Once in a lifetime... ooh
