It Only Happens Once lyrics

It only happens once
I'll never feel that thrill again
It only happens once
Why couldn't I have known it then?

Since I lost you dear one
Nothin’ seems to be the same
I tried hard but it's no use
My heart won’t play play the game

It only happens once
I realize that now is past
And I was such a dunce
Because I couldn't make it last

Why go on pretending?
I just can't love someone new
It only happens once
And for me that once was you

It only happens once
I realize that now is past
And I was such a dunce
Because I couldn't make it last

Why go on pretending?
I just can't love someone new
It only happens once
And for me that once waaahaaaaah was you
