Only Once Songtext
von Tom Jones

When I was very young and life was new
My world was always full of dreams
Growing old was far away
No tomorrow, just today
Nothing is the way it seems

I knew that one day I would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could I know what lay ahead?
Life played games with me instead
Didn′t count on meeting you

Only once
I always thought that love came only once
That when you fell
You fell in love to stay
Now all at once
I realize it isn't so
That love can come and love can go
It happens every day


Oh, she was mine
With her I found a world that couldn′t end
Or so I thought
Right up until today

Then all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do
Would make me look away

Then all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do
Would make me look away

Then all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do
Would make me look away
