Again, this couldn't happen again

Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine

What's more,
This never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you
Would suddenly be mine

Mine to hold
As I'm holding you now
And yet never so near
Mine to have
When the now and the here
Disappear
What matters, dear,
For

When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again

We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again

Dorcas Cochran - Lionel Newman
