“You Were My Once in a Lifetime”
Original heartbreak song · Slow acoustic ballad
Verse 1
I still remember how you held my hand,
The little dreams, the plans we made,
I thought our love would never end,
I thought your heart was mine to stay.
You were the home I ran to,
The peace I found in every storm,
And even now, after all we've been through,
My heart still misses where it belonged.
Pre-Chorus
I wonder if you think of me,
When the night is quiet and you can't sleep,
Do you ever miss the way we were?
Or am I just a fading memory?
Chorus
You were my once in a lifetime,
The kind of love I'll never find twice,
The one I gave my whole heart to,
The one I dreamed my whole life through.
And though you're no longer here with me,
A part of you will always be
The sweetest pain I'll ever know,
The love I lost, but can't let go.
You were my once in a lifetime,
My almost forever, my sweetest goodbye.
Verse 2
Sometimes I smile when I think of you,
Then tears come falling out of the blue,
I never knew that missing someone
Could hurt this much when they're already gone.
I wish that time could turn around,
To when your arms were safe and sound,
But life has taken us different ways,
And all I have are yesterday's days.
Bridge
Maybe in another life,
We'd get it right, we'd never say goodbye.
Maybe we'd grow old, side by side,
With nothing left to hide.
But in this life, I'll let you go,
Even if my heart says no.
Because loving you was never a mistake,
Even if losing you is more than I can take.
Final Chorus
You were my once in a lifetime,
My answered prayer, my borrowed sunshine.
And if someday you remember me,
I hope you smile at what we used to be.
I won't pretend I didn't care,
Or that I never wished you'd still be there.
You may be someone I used to know,
But you'll always be the love I can't erase from my soul.
You were my once in a lifetime,
My beautiful past, my unfinished goodbye.
And even if you're no longer mine,
I'll always be grateful that your heart once beat beside mine.
