Stevie wonder for once in my life lyrics

For once in my life,
I have someone who needs me,
Someone I've needed so long,
For once unafraid,
I can go where life leads me,
Somehow I know I'll be strong,
For once I can touch,
What my heart used to dream of,
Long before I knew,

Ohhhhh someone warm like you,
Would make my dreams come true,

Yeah, yeah yeah.

For once in my life,
I wont let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know wont desert me,
I'm not alone anymore,
For once I can say,
'This is mine you can't take it'
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life,
I have someone who needs me,

(Ha ha ha heyyy yeah!
Oh baby love baby.)

For once in my life

*Instrumental solo*

For once in my life,
I wont let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know wont desert me,
I'm not alone anymore,
For once I can say,
'This is mine you can't take it!'
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life,
I have someone who needs me,

(Ohh! For once in my life,
Yeah,
Somebody that needs me,
Ooooh baby!
For once in my life.)

    Who originally sang For Once In My Life?

    It was written and first recorded as a slow ballad. There are differing accounts of its earliest versions, although it seems that it was first recorded by Connie Haines, but first released in 1966 by Jean DuShon.

    Who played bass on for once in my life?

    Wonder's version of the track is often singled out by bassists as the greatest example of James Jamerson's playing style, with no two bars of music played alike during the whole song; a completely improvisational line that is both melodic and complementary to Wonder's vocal.

    Who plays harmonica on for once in my life?

    I play Stevie Wonder's classic chromatic harmoncia solo from “For Once In My Life” on the C chromatic harmonica (which is what Wonder used) and a re-tuned B diatonic harmonica in 2nd position.
