Harry Belafonte - Once In My Lifetime

Once in a lifetime of pain and care
Someone touches your heart
With a touch so rare
That the sun seems to shine just for you
And the whole is born a new

Once in a lifetime of shadows alights
Someone loves you with a love
That is honest and wise
And the sorrow of night fades away
And you wake till the laughter of day

I walked the plains, I roamed the town
But what was lost could not be found
Till once in my lifetime of doubt and fear
You reached for my hand
And my way was clear

I like treasure each leave on it's tree
Love has opened my eyes
I can see.
