Frankie Laine - It Only Happens Once lyrics

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!
