Again
Eternal Moments: Etta James' Unforgettable Song of Love and Destiny
Lyrics
This couldn't happen again
This experience seems unlikely to be repeated.
This is that once in a lifetime
It's a unique, once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
This is the thrill divine
It's an incredibly thrilling and divine feeling.
What's more, this never happened before
This particular situation has never occurred before.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Despite praying for a long time,
That such as you would suddenly be mine
There was a hope or desire for someone like you to suddenly become mine.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
You're mine to hold now, closer than ever before.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
You're mine to have even when the present moment fades.
What matters, dear, for when
The significance lies in the present moment.
This doesn't happen again
It's acknowledged that this extraordinary situation might not repeat.
We'll have this moment forever
We'll cherish this moment forever.
But never, never, again
But it's understood it won't occur again in the future.
Again, this couldn't happen again
Reaffirmation that the experience is unlikely to be repeated.
This is that once in a lifetime
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the experience.
This is the thrill divine
Re-emphasis on the thrilling and divine nature of the experience.
What's more, this never happened before
Confirmation that this situation has never occurred previously.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Despite prayers over a lifetime,
That such as you would suddenly be mine
There was a hope or desire for someone like you to suddenly become mine.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Reiteration that you're mine to hold, now closer than ever before.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Confirmation that you're mine to have even after the present moment disappears.
What matters, dear, for when
Emphasizing the importance of the current experience.
This doesn't happen again
Acknowledgment that this extraordinary situation might not repeat.
We'll have this moment forever
Assurance that we'll forever treasure this moment.
