| Song | Once in a Lifetime |
| Artist | Smokie Norful |
| Album | WOW Gospel 2013 |
| As a little boy I used to dream of the big stage | |
| Couldn't wait to see my name in lights | |
| I had a dream so big, it made a mountain look small | |
| Couldn't wait till I had it all | |
| The closer I'd get, the more distant I'd feel | |
| The more I thought I had, the less it all seemed real | |
| Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts | |
| And I can't imagine my life without you | |
| Chorus: | |
| Once in a lifetime you find a love you know is real | |
| Once in a lifetime you find something that makes your song live | |
| Once in a lifetime you find a friendship that's worth the wait | |
| Once in a lifetime you find joy you can't replace | |
| Verse 2: | |
| I used to think that it was the trophies on my wall | |
| Thought if I won then I'd have it all | |
| And I couldn't wait till everybody knew my name | |
| I had my own idea of fame | |
| The closer I'd get, the more distant I'd feel | |
| The more I thought I had, the less it all seemed real | |
| Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts | |
| I can't imagine my life without you | |
| Chorus: | |
| Once in a lifetime you find a love you can't let go | |
| Once in a lifetime you find the purpose to live on | |
| Once in a lifetime you find the meaning of your dreams | |
| And once in a lifetime you find the one who gives life meaning | |
| Once in a lifetime you find a love you know is real | |
| Once in a lifetime you find something that makes your song live | |
| Once in a lifetime you find a friendship that's worth the wait | |
| Once in a lifetime you find joy you can't replace | |
| Once in a lifetime I've found the best thing I know | |
| Once in lifetime there's no sign of letting go | |
| Once in a lifetime I wouldn't change a single thing | |
| Once in a lifetime you made my whole world sing | |
| I'll never look beyond your love again | |
| Because I know what I've found is truth | |
| Though I've searched in every place to find a thing that makes life complete, | |
| Now I know Lord that thing is You… |
