When I was very young and life was new
My world was always full of dreams
Growing old was far away
Though tomorrow's yesterday
Nothing is the way it seems

I knew that one day I would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could I know what lay ahead
Life played games with me instead
Didn't count on meeting you

Only once, I always thought that love came only once
That when you fell, you fell in love to stay
Then all at once I realized it isn't so
That love can come and love can go
It happens every day

She was mine
With her I found a world that wouldn't end
Or so I thought right up until today

Now all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do would make me look away
Now all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do would make me look away

Now all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do would make me look away
