Once In a While

Once in a while

Someone comes along

That one-in-a-million heart

So pure and so strong

They can face up to the tears

And somehow still find a smile

But we only get it

Every once in a while

Once in while

Someone has the eyes

That one-in-a-million look

That never tells lies

They can get you on your feet

To walk that extra mile

But we only see it

Every once in a while

That's why we call them heroes

And that's why we know their names

And once you've heard their stories

You're never quite the same

That's why we call them heroes

And the best thing they ever do

Is point to the best in us all

And say, "If I can, you can too"

Once in a while

I still hear his voice

That one-in-a-million sound

Like two laughin' boys

He would hate it if we cried

That never was his style

Oh, we still miss him

Every once in a while

Oh, they can face up to the tears

And somehow still find a smile

But we only get him

Every once in a while

Oh, how I miss him

Every once in a while

Mm-mm
