Lyrics Once - Ferlin Husky

Once

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
