1. For [C] once in my [Caug] life, I have [C6] someone who [C7] needs me
[Dm] Someone I’ve [Daug] needed so [Dm7] long [Dm6] .
For [Dm] once, [Daug] unafraid, I can [Dm7] go where life [Dm6] leads me;
And [C] somehow I [G7] know I’ll be [C] strong.

Chorus 1: For [C] once, I can [C6] touch what my [Caug] heart used to dream of,
[F] Long before I [Dm] [G7] knew;
[Cmaj7] Someone [Em] warm like [Am] you, would [Dm7] make my dreams come [G7] true.

2. For [C] once in my [Caug] life, I won’t [C6] let sorrow [C7] hurt me;
[Dm] Not like it [Daug] hurt me [Dm7] before [Dm6] .
For [Dm] once I have [Daug] something, I [Dm7] know won’t [Dm6] desert me;
[C] I’m not [G7] alone [C] anymore.

Chorus 2: For [C] once, I can [C6] say; this is [Caug] mine you can’t take it;
As [F] long as I know I have [D7] love; I can make it.
For [C] once in my [Caug] life, I have [F] someone [Dm7] who [G7] needs [C] me.

* [C] Someone, [Eb] who needs [Ab] me, [C#] Someone, [F#] who needs [Ab] me [Ab7]
