Inspired by the song, For Once in My Life! A swing song written by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden for Motown Records’ Stein & Van Stock publishing company, and first recorded in 1965.
It was first recorded by Barbara McNair, but first released in 1966 by Jean DuShon. Other early versions of the ballad were issued by The Four Tops, The Temptations, Diana Ross and Tony Bennett, whose recording was the first to reach the pop charts.
And yes! Who can forget Stevie Wonder!

For once in (this post) …
I have something (maybe) worth (posting)…
Something (surely lacking) (before) …
For once (unabashed)
I can go
where (this post) leads me
and somehow I know (I’m not wrong)
For once I can (write)
what my heart (could only scheme) of …
Long before I knew …
(Ouch) …
Someone (informed or deformed)
like you …
(Oh) my dreams
(have finally) come true!
For once in (this post)
I won’t let (bad vibes sting) me
Not like they’ve … (Ouch) …
(stung) me before
For once I have someone
I (hope) won’t
(eventually unfollow) me …
(So) I’m not
(Hopeless and Friendless In Seattle)
anymore!

Actually I’m old and senile and live in South Florida!
