Once

V1:

Met her I was 16

She walked without a care in the world

Prettiest thing I’d ever seen

I Didn’t look at the other girls

Couldn’t believe when I made her mine

My bench seat every Friday night

Chorus:

You only feel that once

First kiss in the moonlight

Everything alright

Yeah it happens once

Nerves on the second date

First drive together on the highway

You only feel that once

That hand holding your hand

Making all of those white picket fence house plans

With a dogwood tree out front

A first love happens once 

V2:

Still goin strong at 17

We both owned that one street town

At times it seemed like make believe

It turned to a fairy tale around (here)

Felt destined for a white veil

Another happy ever after to tell

Chorus:

You only feel that once

First kiss in the moonlight

Everything alright

Yeah it happens once

Nerves on the second date

First drive together on the highway

You only feel that once

That hand holding your hand

Making all of those white picket fence house plans

With a dogwood tree out front

A first love happens once

Bridge:

At 18 she moved away

I got my first 9 to five

Though that love did fade

I still remember those drives

Where 

Chorus:

You only feel that once

First kiss in the moonlight

Everything alright

Yeah it happens once

Nerves on the second date

First drive together on the highway

You only feel that once

That hand holding your hand

Making all of those white picket fence house plans

With a dogwood tree out front

A first love happens once
