"One Day in Your Life" is a so
ng recorded by Michael Jackson for his 1975 album, Forever, Michael. It was later released as a single in 1981 due to the strong buzz that generated from the sales of Jackson's hit 1979 album Off the Wall, even though Jackson released that album on a different label. While a modest U.S. hit, it was a bigger hit in the UK, where it became Jackson's first solo recording to hit #1 on the UK Singles Chart. It was number one in the UK for 2 weeks in June 1981, succeeding "Being with You" by Smokey Robinson. This song also featured strongly on the South African singles charts. It was released on the Motown label.
It went on to become the 6th best-selling single of 1981 in the UK.
Recently the song was covered by the Cuban/American singer Gloria Estefan during her 90 Millas World Tour in a section of the show that she dedicated to the memory of Michael Jackson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BivpFYWnebA When Estefan was a member of Miami Sound Machine she covered the song in Spanish, titled "No Me Olvidaras". It can be found on the 1980 album "Miami Sound Machine"[1].

Lyrics
One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here

You'll remember me, somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there

You'll remember me, somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day

One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there
