More Than Once



(To the tune of London Bridges)

Love can happen more than once
More than once, more than once
Love can happen more than once
It can happen

Peace can placate more than once
More than once, more than once
Peace can placate more than once
It can placate

Lightning can hit more than once
More than once, more than once
Lightning can hit more than once
It can hit you

Sex can pleasure more than once
More than once, more than once
Sex can pleasure more than once
It can pleasure

Trust can buckle more than once
More than once, more than once
Trust can buckle more than once
It can buckle

Life can quicken more than once
More than once, more than once
Life can quicken more than once
It can quicken
