Aretha Franklin - Once In A While lyrics

My soul can't last, my soul can't last Once in a while I will dream dear Knowin' dreams will seldom come true Yes, but once in a while I will dream dear And I hope you'll be thinkin' of me too Yes, I must confess that I will miss you Like the stars would miss the sky Like a whale would miss its water If it should ever happen to run dry Although I cried when you left me Yes, I cried for a year and a day You know my soul can't last, my soul just can't last Please answer me right away
