Nat King Cole - It Only Happens Once

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 it's 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
