This is a song about relationships, taking chances and how usually there is a voice of reason and a voice of taking a chance. If it were two voices of reason or chance…well that would be no fun at all. 
Once in a While By Jeff Gilpin

Verse 1
[G]I think you worry too much
But that is just [D]my hunch
And maybe I got it [G]wrong [D]
Because [G]you see that it is
Going bad before I have [D]ever had
A chance to prove you [G]wrong [D]
Chorus
[C]So I let it roll for a [G]while
Before you forget to [C]smile
And [F]let my dream come [D]true
Verse 2
[G]Never before have I tried
To score the [D]winning goal
Although I’ve had my [G]shots [D]
[G]Now that it is all teed up I
Think I can [D]reach the cup if
You stop the can [G]nots [D]
Chorus
[C]So I let it roll for a [G]while
Before you forget to [C]smile
And [F]let my dream come [D]true
Verse 3
[G]I see fate smiling back at
Me while I stupid[D]ly
Grin at you with all my [G]might[D]
[G]Just for this one and only
Time I have [D]managed
To somehow get it [G]right[D]
Chorus
[C]So I let it roll for a [G]while
And you still have your [C]smile
As I [F]see my dream come [D]true
Verse 4
[G]Then I open up
My eyes only to [D]see that
I’ve managed to crap [G]out [D]
[G]Looking over at your face
I see I told [D]you so written
As if to [G]shout [D]
Chorus
[C]But you have to roll it once and a [G]while
Or you will forget how to [C]smile
Then [F]no more dreams for [D]you[D7]
Final Chorus
[C]That’s why you let me roll once in a [G]while
As you look on and [C]smile
At your [F]dreamer through and [D]through [C] [G]
