Once in a while   Someone comes along   That one in a million heart   So pure and so strong   They can face up to the tears    And somehow still find a smile   We only get it   Every once in a while.      Once in while   Someone has the eyes   That one in a million look   That never tells lies.   They can take get you on your feet   To walk that extra mile   We only see it    Every once in a while.      That's why we call them heroes   That's why we know their names   And once you've heard their stories   You're never quite the same.      That's why we call them heroes   The best thing they ever do   Is point to the best in us all   And say, "If I can, you can too."      Once in a while   I still hear his voice   That one in a million sound   Like two laughin' boys   He would hate it if we cried   That never was his style   Oh, we still miss him    Every once in a while.      Oh, they can face up to the tears   And somehow still find a smile   But we only get it   Every once in a while.      Oh, how I miss him   Every once in a while...
