Once In My Lifetime Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Once in a lifetime of pain and care
Someone touches your heart with a touch so rare
That the sun seems to shine just for you
And the whole world is born a new


Once in a lifetime of shadows alights
Someone loves you with a love
That is honest and wise
And the sorrow of night fades away
And you wake to the laughter of day

I walked the plains
I roamed the town
But what was lost could not be found
′Til once in my lifetime of doubt and fear
You reached for my hand, and my way was clear
Now I treasure each leave on its tree
Love has opened my eyes
I can see
