It Only Happens Once (1993 Digital Remaster) - Nat King Cole

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

Nothing seems to be the same

I tried hard but it's no use

My heart won't 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

Why go on pretending

I just can't love someone new

It only happens once

And for me that once was you
