Once - Billy Eckstine

Once, and only once

The one and only comes along

Once you took my hand

I felt your touch and I was strong

No wonder other simple love

Was not too clear to me

Though you were dear to me

I walked away

Who knew that once I knew your arms

Your arms would bind me to the past

I, who used to say

That nothing in the world could last

We live but once

And now I know my once was then

Please take me back

And love me once again

We live but once

And now I know my once was then

Please take me back

And love me once again
