Once-in-a-lifetime crime of the century
Lightning captured in a bottle
Your smile flashed before me
Two hearts so beguiled
Seized the moment, seized forever
Had you not approached
Had I not engaged
Then, there would be no you and me
Once-in-a-lifetime crime of the century
Shooting stars in all directions
Fireworks loud as love now
We turn our heads skyward
Gaze upon what will not linger
Had you not approached
Had I not engaged
Then, there would be no you and me
Once-in-a-lifetime crime of the century
How powerful this fateful timing
Flirtatious destiny
Shudder to think had we left with another
Had you not approached
Had I not engaged
Then, there would be no you and me
Once-in-a-lifetime crime
Had you not approached
Had I not engaged
Unforgivable missed opportunity
Once-in-a-lifetime crime
Once-in-a-lifetime crime of the century
