Once In A Lifetime
Nikki Phillippi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it feels like a dream
I could run and look for shelter
But you hold onto me
Im under your skies
Im caught in your eyes
Dont you know you stop the room
I'm standing where the lighning strikes
I know this doesn't happen twice
You must be my once in a lifetime, in a lifetime
You must be my once in a lifetime
There's so much that I have told you
But its all in my head
Ask me anything you want to
Cause the answer is yes
I'll spend my whole life
Just being caught up in your eyes
Dont you know you stop the room
And all that I can see is you
I'm standing where the lighning strikes
I know this doesn't happen twice
You must be my once in a lifetime, in a lifetime
You must be my once in a lifetime
So before the storm is passed
I just want to ask
Can we make this moment last?
So before the storm is passed
I just want to ask
Can we make this moment last?
Dont you know you stop the room
And all that I can see is you
I'm standing where the lightning strikes
I know this doesn't happen twice
You must be my once in a lifetime, in a lifetime
You must be my once in a lifetime
