lyrics

ONCE IN A WHILE

When you came to me
You were sent from above
When you talk to me
It’s a language of love

Words of a child
More meaning than most say
A touch and a smile
More feeling each day

I used to look
For things that were missing
Counting the holes
And what isn’t there

Day after day
Lost sight of the meaning
Your life brought me love
And it’s suddenly clear

Once in a while
I was inspired to sing
Once in a while
I was a great man
Once in a while
I’d do the right thing
Every once in a while
I can

When I sit alone
And think of the hard role
Of teaching you, child
To walk on your own

When you reach for me
I’ll take your hand
And when you let go
I’ll understand

Once in a while
I’d smile at the dawn
Once in a while
I felt good
Once in a while
I’d write a great song
Every once in a while
I could
But ever since you and your love came my way
My once in a while is every single day

Once in a while
I was inspired to sing
Once in a while
I was a great man
Once in a while
I’d do the right thing
Every once in a while
I can
But ever since you and your love came my way
My once in a while is every single day
