Lyrics

Once in ev ’ry life,

some one comes a long,

and you came to me.

It was al most like a song.

You were in my arms,

just where you be long,

we were so in love.

It was al most like a song.

Jan u ar y through De cem ber,

we had such a per fect year;

then the flame be came a dy ing em ber; all at once you weren’t there.

Now my bro ken heart

cries for you each night.

It’s al most like a song,

but it’s too sad to write.

Now my bro ken heart

cries for you each night.

It’s al most like a song,

but it’s too sad to write.

It’s too sad to write.
