For once in my life...

[Dedicated to Sonia!]

For once in my life, I've found someone who cares,
Someone who knows who I am;
For once in my life, I've found love I can share,
With someone who understands.

For once in my life, I can reach out and touch
a face that will smile just for me;
For once in my life, said goodbye to things such
as loneliness and misery.

For once in my life, I've found someone to teach me,
who's also willing to learn;
For once in my life, I've found someone who needs me,
Someone I need in return.

For once in my life, I've got someone I can turn to,
You are the one I can trust;
For once in my life, I've got someone to return to,
when I get frightened, lonely or lost.

For once in my life, I know that I can make it,
'cause I've got your hand in mine;
for once in my life, I've got love, they can't take it,
'cause we'll stand the test of time.

For once in my life, I know where I belong,
And I know what I want out of life;
For the rest of my life, (and I hope that it's long),
I want you by my side as my wife.
