song-cover

For once in my life

For once in my life I have someone who needs me

Someone I've needed so long

For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew

Someone warm like you

Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

Not like it hurt me before

For once, I have something I know won't desert me

I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it

As long as I know I have love, I can make it

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
