Once in a While
Unforgettable Moments: A Melodic Reflection on Love's Flickering Embers
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Requesting occasional effort to think about the speaker
One little thought to me
Asking for a small consideration or attention
Though someone else may be
Acknowledging the possibility of someone else being closer emotionally
Nearer your heart?
Questioning if someone else is more emotionally connected
Once in a while will you dream
Asking if there are moments of dreaming about shared experiences
Of the moments I shared with you
Reflecting on past moments spent together
Moments before we two
Recalling moments before the emotional distance occurred
Drifted apart?
Expressing the emotional drifting apart
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love's residual warmth
One spark may remain
Hope that a small flame of love still exists
If love still can remember
Suggesting that love might recall past moments
That spark may burn again
Anticipating the rekindling of love
I know that I'll be contented
Expecting contentment with memories of the past
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with the recollection of previous experiences
Knowing you think of me
Assuming that the listener occasionally thinks about the speaker
Once in a while
Reiterating the hope for occasional thoughts or memories
In love's smoldering ember
Re-emphasizing the potential remaining warmth in love
One spark may remain
Highlighting the possibility of a lingering spark
If love still can remember
Positing that love may remember and reignite
The spark may burn again
Reiterating the potential for a revived flame in love
I know that I'll be contented
Expecting satisfaction with memories, even if infrequent
With yesterday's memory
Being content with the thoughts and memories of the past
Knowing you think of me
Believing that occasional thoughts from the listener are enough
Once in a while
Repeating the desire for occasional thoughts or memories
