Once

Writer(s): Jerry Douglas Cole

Verse #1
Once, you promised me forever
And that you'd always be close by my side
That we'd be so happy here together
And in the end, we'd go where lovers 'err abide

Chorus:
Once, I trusted you completely
Confidence in you, I did enpart
Now that you're gone, this empty homes' a prison
And once was all it took to break my heart

Verse #2
Once, I dreamed of ever after
With a wife and kids that I could call my own
For someone who cared that I could share my life with
And if I grew old, I'd never be alone
