Once In A Lifetime Thing Lyrics by Jim Weatherly

Weatherly

0

Girl, we had our rope in the sun
Oh, and we had our days dipped in fun
And we really, really gave it that old college try
But when the laughter had stopped ringing
The sun had fallen from our sky

All the dreams we planned to chase
Oh, didn't we let them all go to waste?
It hurts to think of just how close we came
To finding that once in a lifetime thing

Girl, we had our moment alone
Oh and we sang some of love's sweetest songs
But the songs we sang togethеr
Ended up on separate notеs
And when the music had stopped playing
Somehow we missed the boat

All the life we planned to taste
Was swallowed up by time and space
But it hurts to think of just how close we came
We almost found that once in a lifetime thing

It hurts to think, oh just how close we came
You know we almost found that once in a lifetime thing

Yes, Lord it hurts just how close we came
We almost found that once in a lifetime thing
