Once in a while I could look at you
See the twinkle in your eyes
With not a word between us
See you smilin’ ’cause you read my mind

Once in a while I could hold you
Not have to say a thing
Though I was giving you all my love
Just by what you were feeling

Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been
Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been

Once in a while I could wake up
Find you lyin’ there touchin’ me, oh, my little girl
Once in a while I could wake up
Find you lyin’ there touchin’ me

Once in a while twenty years from now
After all that we’ve been through
I could tell you by one caress
That it’s been good bein’ loved by you

Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been
Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been

Oh, my little girl

Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been
Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been
Oh, I’d be so happy
Happier, happier than I’ve been
