Sarah Brightman - Once in a lifetime

Refrain:
Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know you're my once in a lifetime

Todo tu cuerpo temblara Pero esta vez, es realidad            Aunque el tiempo pase Nunca, nunca lo olividaras Sera Solo una vez en tu vida

All your body will tremble But this time it will be real Though time passes by You will never, never forget it It will be Only once in your lifetime

When you take me
And make me cry
Then I feel you satisfy
Show me the cage
It's all the rage
And lock it up

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Giving you my soul
Letting you control
Took away a part of my lifetime
Memories of you
Left me black and blue
Now I know you're once in a lifetime

Refrain

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime

Refrain

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime

Music: Peterson, Schwarz, Meissner
Lyrics: Peterson, Brightman

From: Dive (1993).
On the "rare tracks" CD of Fly II (2000) there are two slightly different versions (remixes) of this song.

Source of the lyrics: the CD-booklet, with thanks to Jeff.

The italics lines (which are in Spanish), more spoken than sung and very faint in the distance, do not appear in the CD-booklet.
Thanks to Gene Laycock and MacKenzie, Nilda, and Roberto Gonzalez I can give the Spanish lines as well as a translation in English shown above.
 

Original and other versions

The original version of "Once In A Lifetime" seems to be on the Gregorian album Sadisfaction (1991), with thanks to L. Parham, who pointed me to this page, which says:

Once In a Lifetime was first performed on this album,
before being interpreted by Sarah Brightman and Princessa.

That website also provides the lyrics, which I already provided here: the original version has rather different lyrics. It seems unlikely that this version of Gregorian was sung by Sarah.

 

Princessa performs "Once In A Lifetime" on her album I Won't Forget You" (1999) [thanks to Becky Wilson for this info].
