Sammy Davis Jr. – For Once In My Life lyrics
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
This time 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
Will make my dreams come true

For once in my life
I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
I've found me someone
I know won’t desert me
I won't be alone anymore

For once I can say
This is mine, they can’t take it
As long as I’ve got the love
I know I'm gonna make it
For once in my life
I’ve got someone who needs me

Yeah, 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 this time I know I’ll be strong

For once I can touch
What my heart only used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Will make my dreams
I said make my dreams
I said make my dreams come true

For once in my life
I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
I've found me something
That I know won’t desert me
I'll never be alone anymore

For once I can say
This is mine, you better not take it
Long as I’ve got the [Incomprehensible]
I know I'm gonna make it
For once in my life
I’ve got someone who needs me

For once I can say
This is mine, you better not take it
Long as I’ve got the love
I know I'm gonna make it
For once in my life
I’ve got someone who needs me

For once in my life
I’ve got someone who needs me
Can you dig it? It feels groovy
And I mean it
For once in my life, that's it
