"Once In A While" lyrics - BILLY DEAN

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
That we only get every once in a while

Once in a 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
That we only see every once in a while

That's why we call them heroes
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
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 laughing 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
That we only get every once in a while
Oh, how I miss him every once in a while
