Once in a Lifetime Songtext
von Chico Mann

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "How did I get here?"

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Into the blue again
Once in a lifetime

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

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Into the blue again
Once in a lifetime


Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Water dissolving
Water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water
Carry the water
Remove the water
The water

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stone
There is water underground


Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
How the world is going
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway lead to?"
You may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My, my God, 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
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stone
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
How the world is going
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Time isn′t holding us
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Time isn't after us
Into the blue again
Time isn′t holding us
Under the rocks and stone
Time isn't after us

Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
Same as it ever was
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
Same as it ever was
Into the blue again
Time isn't after us
Same as it ever was
Once in a lifetime
Time isn′t holding us
