Some people have itAnd some people don’tSome people never willSometimes it’s hard to know when you got itSometimes it’s perfectly clearWell, I know it’s out thereI’ve seen it happenAnd I know the way it should feel‘Cause there’s no mistakin’That good kind of achin’Of once in a lifetime loveOnce in a lifetime loveLove like we’ve all dreamed ofIt may go disguisedRight before your eyesOnce in a lifetime loveSo, if you think you’ve got itYou feel it inside yaDon’t let it slip awayYou may not everFind what you neverThought you’d had anywayIf you’ve always had itJust realize itYou know how lucky you areTo wake up besideWhat some never findA once in a lifetime love
