"Once In A Lifetime Thing" lyrics

Boy, we had our share of the sun
When we had our days dipped in fun
And we really, really gave it one heck of a try
And when the laughter had stopped ringing
Our sun had fallen from my sky

All the dreams we planned to chance
Didn't we let them all go to waste?
It hurts to think of just how close we came
To finding that once in a lifetime thing

Oh, all the light we planned to taste
Was swallowed up by time and space
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord it hurts to think of just how close we came
We almost found that once in a lifetime thing

It hurts to think, oh just how close we came
You know we almost found that once in a lifetime thing
