For Once in My Life (1967)
1-23
(w) Ronald Miller (m) Orlando Murden (I) Tony Bennett. (P) Stevie Wonder (CR) Jackie Wilson
For once in my life I’ve got someone who needs me
Someone I’ve needed so long
For once unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow 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
Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life, I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it’s hurt me before for once I’ve got someone
I know won’t desert me and I’m not alone anymore

For once I can say, “This is mine, you can’t take it”
As long as I know I’ve got love, I can make it
For once in my life I’ve got someone who needs me
