For once in my life I have someone who needs meSomeone I’ve needed so longFor once, unafraid, I can go where life leads meAnd somehow I know I’ll be strongFor once I can touch what my heart used to dream ofLong before I knewSomeone warm like youWould make my dreams come trueFor once in my life I won’t let sorrow hurt meNot like it’s hurt me beforeFor once, I have something I know won’t desert meI’m not alone anymoreFor once, I can say, this is mine, you can’t take itAs long as I know I have love, I can make itFor once in my life, I have someone who needs me
