"Once" lyrics
"Once"
I was foolish - once
And I let my "once" get away
I was happy - once
You'd never believe it today
I got careless - once
All at once you got away
Life had beauty - once
It's not worth livin' today
I slipped out - once
All at once you slipped away
Oh, great regret like the flavor of wine
Only grows deeper with the passing of time
Life had meaning - once
It's cold and so empty today
I was foolish - once
I let my "once" get away

I know that I won't forget you
For I've loved you too much for too long
Though you don't want me now
I'll still love you

That's how it is...
Gene Watson - "Fourteen Carat Mind" I still recall the morning that I met you
Standing out in front of Wilson's five and dime
Staring through the window at the jewelry
Hungry for the things you couldn't buy
Just like a fool I thought...
