It only happens once
I've never felt that thrill again
It only happens once
Why couldn't I have known it then
Since I've lost you, dear one
Nothin' seems to the be same
I tried hard but it's no use
My heart won't plead again
It only happens once
I realized that now it's past
And I was such a dunce
'Cause I couldn't make it last
Why go on pretending
I just can't love someone new
It only happens once
And for me there once was you
Why go on pretending
I just can't love someone new
It only happens once
And for me there once was you
