Michael McDonald

For Once In My Life

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

Could make my dreams come true

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

Not like it's hurt me before

For once I've got someone I know won't desert me

I'm not alone anymore

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

As long as I've got love I know I can make it

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

Someone who needs me, someone who needs me

For once in my life

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

Not like it's hurt me before

For once I've got someone I know won't desert me

I'm not alone anymore

Now, for once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it"

As long as I've got love I know I can make it

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

For once in my life, someone who needs me

For once in my life, someone who needs me

For once in my life, someone who needs me

(4x)

Someone who needs me

For once in my life, someone who needs me
