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!

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!
I'll never feel that thrill again,
It only happens once,
Why couldn't I have known it then?

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!
