JUST ONCE IN MY LIFE                   

   IF I COULD FIND SOMEONE, IF ONCE                        

   THE FEELING WAS RIGHT                   

   I'D NEVER LET HER GO



   I'D ALWAYS BE THERE

   IF I COULD HAVE MY CHANCE TO BE

      THE ONLY ONE

   IT JUST ISN'T FAIR



   CHORUS



   IF I COULD HOLD ON TO LOVE    

   I'D NEVER LET IT GO

   I'D KEEP IT RIGHT NEXT TO MY HEART



   IF I COULD HOLD HER TONIGHT

   SHE'D NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE

   IF I COULD ONLY HOLD ON TO LOVE



   I'M SEARCHING MY DREAMS

   I'M TRYING TO RECOGNIZE THAT FACE,

     OH,

   WHO CAN IT BE?

   SHE'S CALLING OUT TO ME AND NOW

   I'M



   RUNNING TO HER

   BUT EVERYTIME I GET THIS CLOSE

   SHE VANISHES

   INTO THE NIGHT



   REPEAT CHORUS



   IS IT EVER COME TO PASS

   THAT I FIND A LOVE THAT LASTS

   OR IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?



   IF I COULD HOLD HER TONIGHT

   SHE'D NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE

   IF I COULD ONLY HOLD ON TO LOVE 

   IF I COULD ONLY HOLD ON TO LOVE
