One Direction - Once In A Lifetime Lyrics






[Liam:]
Once in a lifetime
It's just right
We make no mistakes
Not even a landslide
Or riptide
Could take it all away

[Harry:]
Somehow
It feels like nothing has changed
Right now
My heart is beating the same
Out loud
Someone's calling my name
It sounds like you

[Chorus:]
When I close my eyes
All the stars align
And you are by my side
You are by my side

[Louis:]
Once in a lifetime
It's just right
We are always safe

[Niall:]
Not even the bad guys
In the dark night
Could take it all away

[Louis:]
Somehow
It feels like nothing has changed
Right now my heart is beating the same

[Niall:]
Out loud
Someone's calling my name
And it sounds like you

[Chorus:]
When I close my eyes
All the stars align
And you are by my side
You are by my side
You are by my side
You are by my side

[Liam:]
Once in a lifetime
You were mine

One Direction Once In A Lifetime Comments
  1. M.... D....

    Once in a lifetime you were mine :<

  2. K.... ....

    everytime I hear this song I cry. The harmonies are exquisite. The lyrics just hit in the feels. I have to close my eyes for this one.

  3. b.... A....

    This is just.. something different, it hits right in the heart it’s actually crazy

    b.... A....

    I know right! Gets you in the feels. That's why this song is so addicting.

    b.... A....

    Aaliyah Shroyer I want to hear this live so badly, I would die for that

  4. F.... A....

    2020 anyone?

  5. A.... S....

    Their voices together are consonant together. In the chorus, it’s just so impeccable. Most perfect song ever if I had to rate this one with an adjective. The chord progression and tone to their voices are perfect. The chorus if my favorite part, Harry's part sounds really good but the whole song is amazing <3

  6. A.... S....

    “When I close my eyes, all the stars are lined and you are by my side”

    I love that part, the vocals are amazing and sounds so harmonic. Their voices are so consonant together, it’s impeccable. It brought tears to my eyes along with goosebumps. Not many songs do that but this one, this is a keeper.

  7. N.... C....

    “Literally once in a lifetime “ 😂💕

  8. L.... W....

    I've grown out of my One Direction phase and I'm into mostly metal nowadays; Vektor is my favourite band now but that's not the point.
    I still like certain 1D songs, like this one. I don't hate them at all. After all, once in a lifetime, they were part of what defined me as a person. :)

  9. I.... B....

    I´m crying but in a cool way

    I.... B....

    😢😢😢

  10. t.... c....

    this song is timeless to me, it really takes me to other places 🥺 wish more people knew about this song..... its magic.

  11. j.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL, ITS UNDESCRIBABLE, NOT WITH WORDS

  12. A.... P....

    This song is so beautiful brb while I weep like a baby

  13. S.... K....

    This song is good

  14. l.... h....

    This is actually my favorite, I mean just listen to them singing in sync like ahhhhh and the lyrics are so deep like fuckin hell 😞🥰

    l.... h....

    Their voices together are consonant together. In the chorus, it’s just so impeccable. Most perfect song ever if I had to rate this one with an adjective. The chord progression and tone to their voices is perfect

    l.... h....

    definitely 👏 ( 'ω' )

    l.... h....

    lizzie horan I love singing to this one ❤️

  15. D.... ....

    And you might find yourself
    In front of the wrong music video

  16. M.... ....

    "Once in a life time it's just right we make no mistakes "

    "Not even the bad guys in the dark night could take it all away "

  17. N.... B....

    I miss my high school days

  18. K.... H....

    Harry Styles' "Adore you" was the adversitement for this video...

  19. A.... Y....

    I love one direction

  20. D.... a....

    Just miss them:(

  21. A.... S....

    december 2019? somebody?

    A.... S....

    I first heard this song it was December but I can't remember the year and I love this song so much it reminds me of one very special person.. now I'm coming back here to listen again to this song just like how I missed that one very special person. Hi Ana happy holidays to you 🎉❤️

  22. O.... H....

    I love this song so much... Every time I listen to it, I feel this sense of peace and the way their voices blend is seriously something else, they are SOOO talented. One of their most beautiful and underrated songs 💔 Well done, 1D.

  23. M.... T....

    Una vez en la vida, solo te enamoras😔❤ Estoy llorando en los últimos años

  24. A.... G....

    Mi corazon llora ....😭😭😭😭😭😞😞😞

  25. P.... S....

    I loved all their songs even the underrated ones but this gave me a redeem to keep their memory alive in me. They're never dead in my heart. This song is so underrated that I backed off to the mainstream ones (which I also love) that only some people know. True fans will never ever forget this as one of their greatest songs.

  26. A.... R....

    Where is zayn's voice?

    A.... R....

    in the chorus

  27. L.... E....

    November december 2019??? 😿

  28. S.... S....

    Today it's 5 years of "FOUR". ❤

  29. L.... V....

    🤩😍

  30. N.... C....

    Their voices are so mesmerizing and beautiful.

  31. l.... I....

    I was just thinking about all those things zayn said about 1D, still breaks my heart...

  32. E.... V....

    No one:
    Me: YOU'RE *OBAMA* SIIIDEEE

  33. S.... S....

    0:02 wait can y'all hear a girl moaning? HHAHAHHA

  34. T.... ....

    wait zayn was in the band during the making of four why isnt he in this song?

    T.... ....

    He was, he prob didnt have a solo

    T.... ....

    he is in the song, he leads the chorus

  35. F.... L....

    It's so calm

  36. �.... �....

    When I close my eyes I see 1D together again. Not forced nor pressured by anyone. Where they all get along as friends once again. Where the fandom came back together again. That will be the day life will get easier.

  37. H.... ....

    2 more years. Liam said in interview. I was hoping and still have hope that they will come back.
    Don't let them go, cause I am tired of feeling alone.

  38. h.... i....

    it’s like i can’t feel anything but the power of how you became a reason.

  39. T.... N....

    0/10 no large automobiles

    One Direction
    Once in a Lifetime
    Lyrics:






    And you may find yourself
    Living in a shotgun shack
    And you may find yourself
    In another part of the world
    And you may find yourself
    Behind the wheel of a large automobile
    And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
    With a beautiful wife
    And you may ask yourself, well
    How did I get here?

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
    Into the blue again after the money's gone
    Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

    And you may ask yourself
    How do I work this?
    And you may ask yourself
    Where is that large automobile?
    And you may tell yourself
    This is not my beautiful house!
    And you may tell yourself
    This is not my beautiful wife!

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
    Into the blue again after the money's gone
    Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was

    Water dissolving and water removing
    There is water at the bottom of the ocean
    Under the water, carry the water
    Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
    Water dissolving and water removing

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
    Into the blue again into silent water
    Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
    Into the blue again after the money's gone
    Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

    You may ask yourself
    What is that beautiful house?
    You may ask yourself
    Where does that highway go to?
    And you may ask yourself
    Am I right? Am I wrong?
    And you may say yourself
    "My God! What have I done?"

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
    Into the blue again into the silent water
    Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
    Into the blue again after the money's gone
    Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Look where my hand was
    Time isn't holding up
    Time isn't after us
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was
    Letting the days go by
    Same as it ever was
    And here the twister comes
    Here comes the twister

    Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
    Same as it ever was (same as it ever was)
    Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
    Same as it ever was
    Once in a lifetime
    Let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by

    T.... ....

    TechnoCat are you dumb?

  41. �.... B....

    Am I the only one who came here missing old days and find her/himself crying

  42. B.... L....

    2019 yet I'am still here supporting the old lads that I supported (and I'll keep supporting) way back 2012 (the day I remember and count myself as a directioner) up to until now. It's been a year and I still reminiscing the times I'am contented seeing them on TV and any social media and listening to their songs. Directioner by hearts 💖 I love you Harry, Zayn, Liam, Niall & Louis. The best fandom that I ever have

  43. w.... ....

    this album was my therapy when i was so depressed, you’ve got a special place in my heart, and thanks to all the directioners with the biggest heart in the world for supporting me all these years

  44. A.... L....
