It's come at a cost, I paid my dues
A laboured love that could never bloom
I was lost, but I never knew
I had no song until I found you
Now, no man has more riches
'Cos, Every once in a while
I sit and smile
At just about everything, I don't want for anything
When I see you smile
Every once in a while
A picture ever so sweet, locked into my memory
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
Salt of the earth, one of a kind
A fantasy, a love sublime
The cream of the crop, that fate's hand grew
A real-life fairy tale come true
Now, no man has less wishes
'Cos, Every once in a while
I sit and smile
At just about everything, I don't want for anything
When I see you smile
Every once in a while
A picture ever so sweet, locked into my memory
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
You're just about everything, I don't want for anything
When I see you smile
Every once in a while
