Once In A While - Madeleine Peyroux

From bad luck I’m walking away

I’m not getting stuck

I’m not gonna stay

To good things I’m moving ahead

I’m tired of dying

I’m living instead

Once in a while I wake up

Wondering why we gave up

But once in a while

Comes and it fades away

The sun’s up and lighting the sky

I never could see it

It just passed me by

Good things keep moving along

I’m not looking backward

For something that’s gone

Once in a while

I’ll wake up

Wondering why we gave up

But once and a while

Comes and fades away

I don’t what love is

I’m selfish and lazy

And when I get scared I can act like I’m crazy

But when I think of your kisses

I’m still gonna smile

I’m still gonna miss you

Once in a while

Once in a while

Once in a while I’ll wake up

Wondering why we gave up

But once in a while

Comes and it fades away

Good things keep moving ahead

I’m tired of dying I’m living instead
