Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once in my life, I have the chance to find
Once in my life, I have the chance to find
[Verse 2]
Once in a lifetime, I have the chance to find
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
[Verse 3]
In the beginning, troubled times in my life
I needed (Just needed a shoulder) a shoulder to cry on
Had no direction until I met you
Everything is gonna be all right
Looking out beyond the stars
Searching, always wishing
Often, I thought that love would escape me
You got the key, babe
[Verse 4]
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
[Verse 5]
I was lost, couldn't find my way
You took my hand and chased my blues away
Your inspiration is guidin' me through
I'm feelin' brand new
Memories of days gone by
Hurting, always hurting
You've taken my pain away, finally
You set me free, babe
[Verse 6]
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
(So good for me)
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
(Once in my lifetime)
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
(Key to my dreams)
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find
(I have the chance, baby)
The key to my dreams, (And I know) that it's so good for me
(And I have the chance to give you everything you need)
Once in a lifetime, (In my life) I have the chance to find...
