once in a while

someone comes along

that one in a million heart

so pure and so strong

they can face up to the tears

and somehow still find a smile

that we only get 

every once in a while



once in a while

someone has the eyes

that one in a million look

that never tells lies

they can get you on your feet

to walk that extra mile

that we only see

every once in while



thats why we call them heroes 

thats why we know their names

and once you heard their stories 

your never quite the same



thats why we call them heroes

the best thing they ever do 

is point to the best in us all

and say if i can you can too



once in a while

i still hear his voice

that one in a million sound

like two laughing boys

he would hated if we cried

that never was his style



oh we still miss him 

every once in a while



oooh they can face up to the tears 

and some how still find a smile

that we only get 

every once in a while



oh how i miss him 

every once in a while
