For Once in My Life

Good bye, old friend,
This is the end of the man(girl)
I used to be, 'cause there's been a strange and welcome change in me.

For once in my life I have 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 would make my dream come true.
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know won't desert me,
I'm not alone anymore.
For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once I can feel that somebody's heard my plea.
