Once A Lifetime

Romantic Power Ballad

The Story

Have you ever met that one person who changes everything? Who turns the darkness into day?

“Once a Lifetime” is a song about the moment the waiting ends. It is a declaration of love to the soulmate who sets your soul on fire. For the one connection that makes us whole.

Lyrics

I walked the empty roads before
Searching for the hidden door
The world was grey and cold and slow
A history I didn't know

Then in the shadows of the night
Your face became the only light
I knew the moment I saw you

A sudden tremor in the dark
You gave my silent soul a spark
My endless waiting finally ceased
My future was released

Once in a lifetime
I meet someone like you
You set the fire in my soul

I cast the broken past away
You turn the darkness into day
This is the love that makes me whole

The quiet strength you give to me
Broke all the chains I couldn't see
Our destinies are intertwined
The greatest truth my heart could find

Two distant spirits now align
A perfect mirror, yours and mine

Once in a lifetime
I meet someone like you
You set the fire in my soul

I cast the broken past away
You turn the darkness into day
This is the love that makes me whole

I swear my oath to you tonight
Beneath the moon's majestic light
There is no challenge we can't face
Sealed by this time, sealed by this place

Once in a lifetime
I meet someone like you
You set the fire in my soul

I cast the broken past away
You turn the darkness into day
This is the love that makes me whole
