Once

I was foolish - once

And I let my "once" get awayI was happy - once

You'd never believe it today

I got careless - once

All at once you got awayLife had beauty - once

It's not worth livin' today

I slipped out - once

All at once you slipped awayOh great regret like the flavor of wineOnly grows deeper with the passing of timeLife had meaning - once

It's cold and so empty today

I was foolish - once

I let my "once" get away
