Once in a While
Cherished Memories: Longing in Love's Embers
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Request to occasionally make an effort to give attention
One little thought to me
Ask for a small consideration or reflection
Though someone else may be
Acknowledgment that someone else may be closer emotionally
Nearer your heart?
Questioning if someone else holds a special place in your heart
Once in a while will you dream
Request to dream or think about shared moments
Of the moments I shared with you
Reflecting on past moments shared with the listener
Moments before we two
Recalling moments before the emotional distance grew
Drifted apart?
Acknowledging the separation that occurred
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love's fading intensity
One spark may remain
Hope that a small spark of love remains
If love still can remember
Considering whether love can recall and revive the spark
That spark may burn again
Expressing the possibility of love rekindling
I know that I'll be contented
Expectation of finding contentment in past memories
With yesterday's memory
Acceptance of being satisfied with memories from the past
Knowing you think of me
Awareness that the listener thinks about the speaker
Once in a while
Reiteration of the occasional hope for attention
In love's smoldering ember
Repetition of the idea that a spark may endure in love
One spark may remain
Reiteration of hope for a remaining spark in love
If love still can remember
Questioning if love still remembers the spark
The spark may burn again
Repeating the idea that love may rekindle the spark
I know that I'll be contented
Expectation of finding contentment in past memories (repeated)
With yesterday's memory
Acceptance of being satisfied with memories from the past (repeated)
Knowing you think of me
Awareness that the listener thinks about the speaker (repeated)
Once in a while
Reiteration of the occasional hope for attention (repeated)
