When we were young
And the days went on and on
We sat and dreamt about
The future
As time passed
And moved by so fast
We held on the best we could
Looking back now at that moment
A perfect point in time
Now I know better
Than I did back then
I d tell myself to open out my hand
And loosen the grip
Let go of everything
Once in a while
Every once in a while
As we go on
Through the good times
And the dumb stuff we d say that lingers on
Now we re left dreaming
About how in the moment
I would do anything just to make you smile
Whatever you wish
And I wish for everything
Once in a while
Every once in a while
Loosen the grip
Let go of everything
Once in a while
Every once in a while (Every once in a while)
Something reminds me again (Every once in a while)
Keeps on happening again and again and again
