Girl I know you don't really know me Still I want you to listen closely This might sound crazy But after all isn't love like that I would be crazy to let this moment pass What if I don't say what's on my mind And you walk away I might live out my life And never feel this way What if you are the one That I'm meant to love What if tonight is the night What if once in a lifetime love Don't come twice Girl take a chance time is unfolding We could be blessed without even knowing Just for a minute Close your eyes and don't take another breath 'Cause what if you miss it And it never comes again What if you don't say what's on your mind And I walk away You might live out your life And never feel this way What if I am the one That you're meant to love And what if tonight is the night What if once in a lifetime love Don't come twice I don't wanna wake up by myself Years from now wishin' That I'd told you what I felt Your eyes are a window to your soul If you don't open up I may never know What if we don't say what's on our minds And we walk away We might live out our lives And never feel this way What if I am the one And you are the one What if tonight is the night What if once in a lifetime love Don't come twice Oh girl what if you are the one And I am the one What if tonight is the night What if once in a lifetime love Don't come twice
