For Once in My Life

Good bye, old friend,

This is the end of the man(girl) I used to be,

'cause there's been a strange and welcome change in me.

For once in my life I have someone who needs me,

Someone I've needed so long,

For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know I'll be strong.

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew

Someone warm like you would make my dream come true.

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,

Not like it's hurt me before,

For once I have something I know won't desert me,

I'm not alone anymore.

For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,

Long as I know I have love, I can make it,

For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

For once in my life I have someone who needs me,

Someone I've needed so long,

For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know I'll be strong.

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew

Someone warm like you would make my dream come true.

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,

Not like it's hurt me before,

For once I have something I know won't desert me,

I'm not alone anymore.

For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,

Long as I know I have love, I can make it,

For once I can feel that somebody's heard my plea,
