Lyrics
For once in my life, I have (C#m)someone who needs me,
(F#m)someone I've needed so (F#m7)long.
(C#7)For (F#m)once, unafraid, I can (F#m7)go where life leads me;
(E)somehow I know I'll be (E6)strong.
For (E)once, I can touch what my (Eaug)heart used to dream of,
(Amaj7)long before I knew,
oh, (G#m)someone warm like (C#m)you
would (F#m7)make my (G#m7)dreams come (Amaj7)true.
(D#m7)(D7)Oh, (C#m7)yeah (F#m7)yeah.
(Fmaj7)For (E)once in my life, I won't (C#m)let sorrow hurt me,
(F#m)not like it's hurt me (F#m7)before.
(C#7)For (F#m)once, I have something I (F#m7)know won't desert me;
(Emaj7)I'm not alone (Bm7)anymore.
(E7)For (E)once, I can say, "This is (Eaug)mine,
you can't take it."
(Amaj7)Long as I know I have (F#7)love,
I can make it.
For (E)once in my (C#m)life,
I've got (F#m7)someone who needs me.
(E6)(Someone (D6)who (G13)needs (Cmaj9)me.)
(B13)Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
one who needs me.)
(Gm7)(For once in my (Gm)life.)
(Em7)Oh, (Eb7)(Dm7)yeah, (Gm7)yeah.
(Gbmaj7)For (F)once in my (Faug)life,
(Dm)I won't let sorrow (F#dim7)hurt me,
(Gm)not like it's hurt me (Gm7)before.
For (Gm)once, I have something I (Gm7)know won't desert me;
(Fmaj7)I'm not alone (Cm7)anymore.
(F7)For (F)once, I can say, "This is (Faug)mine,
you can't take it."
(Bbmaj7)Long as I know I have (G7)love,
I can make it.
For (F)once in my (Dm)life,
I've got (Gm7)someone who needs me.
(F6)(Someone (Eb6)who (Ab13)needs (Dbmaj9)me.)
For (C13)once in my (Dbmaj9)life.
one who needs me.)
(F6)(Someone (Eb6)who (Ab13)needs (Dbmaj9)me.)
