Ferlin Husky - Once lyrics

rate me

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
