Once in a Lifetime
Embracing Love's Rarity: "Once in a Lifetime" by Bananarama Explored
Lyrics
And even when the sky was darkest grey
Expressing perseverance and optimism during challenging times, possibly in a relationship.
I never gave up searching
Continuing the search for companionship despite difficulties.
For someone to take my loneliness away
Desiring someone to alleviate feelings of loneliness.
And wash away my hurting
Seeking comfort and healing from emotional pain.
And then you turned my fantasy
Referring to a transition from a dream or desire to a tangible reality.
Into reality
Highlighting the transformation of a fantasy into a real-life experience.
You turned my night-time into day
Describing a positive change, turning night into day, possibly symbolizing happiness.
Once in a lifetime comes a lover
Emphasizing the rarity of finding a significant love in one's lifetime.
All you're looking for
Suggesting the search for specific qualities in a partner.
Maybe I've found my perfect lover
Expressing the possibility of having found an ideal lover.
I've waited so long for someone like you
Conveying the anticipation and patience in waiting for the right person.
And even though the world can be so cold
Acknowledging the challenges and harshness of the world.
I never gave up hoping
Maintaining hope despite difficulties and uncertainties.
I'm waiting for the story to unfold
Waiting for the unfolding of a story, possibly a metaphor for the progression of a relationship.
And there's no way of knowing
Emphasizing the unpredictability of life's outcomes.
That the love you're looking for
Stressing that true love may require effort and persistence.
Won't come too easily
Implies that finding love might not be easy.
Or maybe you're too blind to see
Suggesting the possibility of not recognizing love due to personal limitations.
Once in a lifetime comes a lover
Reiterating the rarity of a profound love in one's lifetime.
All you're looking for
Continuing the theme of seeking specific qualities in a partner.
Maybe I've found my perfect lover
Expressing confidence in having found an ideal lover.
I've waited so long for someone like you
Reaffirming the long wait for a special person.
I've waited so long
Repeated emphasis on the extended duration of the wait for the right person.
I've waited so long for someone like you
Reiteration of the prolonged anticipation for a specific individual.
That the love you're looking for
Reemphasizing that genuine love may require patience and perseverance.
Won't come too easily
Suggesting that love might be overlooked due to personal limitations or lack of awareness.
