Once in a Lifetime Thing - Gladys Knight/The Pips

Boy we had our share of the sun

Ooh and we had our days dipped in fun

And we really really gave it

One heck of a try

I tried you tried you know we tried

And when the laughter had stopped ringing

Our sun had fallen from my sky

Fallen fallen from my sky

All the dreams all the dreams

We planned to chase

Ooh then we let them all

Go to waste

It hurts to think

Of just how close we came

To finding that once in a lifetime thing

Ooh one in a lifetime once in a lifetime thing

All the life all the life

We planned to taste

Was swallowed up by

Time and space

Ooh Lord ooh Lord it hurts to think

Of just how close we came

We almost found yes we did we almost found

We almost found that once in a lifetime thing

Yeah hey hey it hurts to think

Aww of just how close we came

We almost found yes we did we almost found

Ya know we almost found that once in a lifetime thing

Ooh ooh whoa
