For Once In Our Lives
Composer(s): Paul Carrack; Chris Difford
Performer(s): Paul Carrack



Since this morning I’ve been thinking how
Things have changed between the two of us
We’ve been falling through the here and now
It’s time for us to reinvest our trust

Can’t you see for once in our lives
Now our love has finally come to ground
This flame we have is burning so bright
Burning for ever, now we’re back together

Since this morning I’ve been asking why
Why we let this sweet love slip away
When we knew love, was for you and I
The reason we could face the darkest days

Can’t we see for once in our lives
All the things we wanted have appeared
Now that we have love realised
Realised forever

For once in our lives there’s no turning back
No running away and no covering our tracks
For once in our lives there’s no one to blame
No broken hearts cause we’ve found love again
For once, for once in our lives

Since this morning I’ve been so relieved
There’s no more pressure from within
I had this sense that you would get to see
There was no lasting love in him

For once in our lives there’s no turning back

Maybe we can’t believe, how things can be so wrong
Maybe it’s time that we learn
To reach out for the feeling of love

For once in our lives there’s no turning back
