ONCE IN A LIFETIME
The play has been cast
ONCE means the first
is also the last
You may not see it even though you will try
Your ONCE IN A LIFETIME may pass you by
ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Who knows how or when
ONCE it has passed
It won't come again
How can we learn of the time and the date
To lessen the chance of seeing too late
To lessen the chance of seeing too late
ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Who knows how or when
ONCE it has passed
It won't come again
On which of my senses should I rely
To make sure it hasn't already passed by
ONCE IN A LIFETIME
I solemnly vow
To keep my eyes open
In case it's now
