Gerry Goffin - Long And Lasting Love (Once In A Lifetime) lyrics

[Verse 1:] A long and lasting love Not many people find it But those who do Their whole life through Put their hearts and souls behind it A long and lasting love A long and lasting love It's what I've always dreamed of And when I looked into your eyes I knew I'd really seen love A long and lasting love [Chorus:] We got a once in a lifetime All the dreams we're waiting for Are just beginning to come true It happens once in a lifetime When you find the special girl Who knows the meaning of love like you [Verse 2:] A long and lasting love We share for many reasons A special bond that goes beyond The changing of the seasons A long and lasting love When a love like ours appears It cherishes it Through all the years A long and lasting love [Repeat Chorus:] A long and lasting love It's what I've always dreamed of And when I looked into your eyes I knew I'd really seen love A long and lasting love It's what I've always dreamed of My long and lasting love
