Once
Ronnie Lewis Jr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like I'm swimming in oceans
Laying in my bed, my bed, my bed
I don't think I saw this thing coming
It's always in my head, my head, my head

Before there was you
I was going through hell
Trying to find my way back to what I thought was with heaven
And I look at you
It's so easy to love
It's so easy to smile
And I know

You only get one
You only get one chance
You only get once in a lifetime to find her
You only get once
You only get one chance
You only get once in a lifetime to find that love
And I'm diving, And I'm diving, Oh I'm diving, Into you
Because I only have one

I know you think it was over
Was it something that I said, I said, I said
Whoever thought love was easy
The pain is in my hands, my hands

Because before I met you
The angels thought I was dead
They carried me to the grave
But then your lips brought me back
When I look at you
I see the deepest of love
It's so easy to smile
So I know

You only get one
You only get one chance
You only get once in a lifetime to find her
You only get once
You only get one chance
You only get once in a lifetime to find that love
And I'm diving, And I'm diving, Oh I'm diving,
And I won't be afraid
To keep diving, keep diving, Oh I'm diving straight into you

I'm on the edge and I'm about to fall
And I don't care
Are you there
I only know how to give you my everything
There may not be a second chance

You only live once
You only get one chance
You only get once in a lifetime to find love
You only get once
You only get one chance
You only get once in a lifetime to find that girl
And I'm diving, I'm diving, And I'm diving
And I won't be afraid
To keep diving, keep diving, And I'm diving, Into you
Because I only have one





Feels like I'm swimming in oceans
I'm laying in my bed...
