about

This is a song about life. It can be difficult and drab but now and then something special happens. It's not predictable but it does happen.

The singer in this version is me, but I'm hoping one day that a real singer discovers this song and makes it their own.

lyrics

Once in a While

Verse 1:
Most of my days
Lot like the day before
I’ve taught my self
Not to expect anything more
Can’t complain
All of my days are full
But they’re not particularly
Memorable

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me

Verse 2:
There’ve been days
Living in shades of grey
Hard to know
What it was painted them that way
I’d Like to think
That every single day
I deserve to live in joy
But life keeps getting in my way

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me

Bridge 1:
I know it can only be once in a while
Can’t expect anything more
But the magic of that once in a while
Make it all worth waiting for

Verse 3:
I’ve heard it said
That there might be ways
To learn to live in those moments
For more of my days
But I never tried
I say it’s not my style
But it could be I’m addicted to the magic
of once in a while

Chorus:
Once in a while
Comes a day
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way
Magic finds its way
Magic finds its way back to me

about

Daniel Weinstein Mitchells Island, Australia

I started writing songs in my late 60s and have written quite a few. During lockdown in 2020 I happened upon a beat up old blue journal that I recognised from my travels in the early 70s. In it I discovered, much to my surprise, 7 completed songs and at least a dozen songs in progress that I'd completely forgotten. Now I can confidently say I've been a songwriter for over 50 years. ... more
