there are things
I can´t tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed
but I´m not naked
you look at me and who I am

understand that it is hard to tell you
that I´ve given all I have to give
and I can understand your feelings
but then everybody has a life to live

once in a lifetime
you have seen what I´ve seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
I´ll never be in between
some things you just can´t ignore

now reach out
you can touch me
I´ll let you have my life to share
years, the days
and the minutes
yeh time has such a puzzling grace

understand that it is hard to tell you
that I´ve given all I have to give
and I can understand your feelings
but then everybody has a life to live

once in a lifetime
you have seen what I´ve seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
I´ll never be in between
some things you just can´t ignore

once in a lifetime
you have seen what I´ve seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
I´ll never be in between
some things you just can´t ignore

I just need to have your love
I just can´t say no
it´s a gift from way above
I just can´t say no
it´s the one big difference
if there´s one thing I can have
I just can´t say no
I just can´t say no
yeh yeh yeh

once in a lifetime
you have seen what I´ve seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
I´ll never be in between
some things you just can´t ignore

once in a lifetime
you have seen what I´ve seen
you will always swim for shore
once in my lifetime
I´ll never be in between
some things you just can´t ignore

once in a lifetime
