Nancy Wilson - Once in My Lifetime lyrics

The bird of June, I'm in my room
I'm sitting at the window writing letters
Dearest love

Once in a lifetime of pain and care
Someone touches your heart
With a touch so rare
That your story book dreams all come true
And the whole world is born anew

Once in a lifetime of shadows and lies
Someone loves you with a love
That is honest and wise
And you learn that your soul can take wings
Like a bird with a spring song to sing

The storms may rage the winds may blow
The fires may burn but still I know

That once in my lifеtime of doubts and fears
You came to my door and you driеd my tears
Now I treasure each leaf on it's tree
Love has opened my eyes, I can see

And now I close, my love, my friend
But what we've known together, oh
My darling have no end
