Once in a While
Whispers of Love: Rediscovering Moments in 'Once in a While'
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Asking for occasional consideration or attention
One little thought to me
Requesting a small amount of thought or reflection
Though someone else may be
Acknowledging the presence of another person in the picture
Nearer your heart?
Questioning if someone else is closer to the person's heart
Once in a while will you dream
Expressing the desire for occasional dreaming or reminiscing
Of the moments I shared with you
Reflecting on past shared moments
Moments before we two
Referencing moments before a separation occurred
Drifted apart?
Addressing the drift or distance between two individuals
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love as a lingering, fading warmth
One spark may remain
Suggesting the possibility of a remaining spark in love
If love still can remember
Considering whether love can recall and recognize past feelings
That spark may burn again
Exploring the potential for rekindling the spark of love
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing satisfaction with memories from the past
With yesterday's memory
Valuing the recollection of shared experiences
Knowing you think of me
Highlighting the significance of being in someone's thoughts
Once in a while
Reiterating the desire for occasional consideration
In love's smoldering ember
Repeating the metaphor of love as a smoldering ember
One spark may remain
Emphasizing the potential for a remaining spark in love
If love still can remember
Reiterating the question of whether love can recall past warmth
The spark may burn again
Reaffirming the possibility of rekindling love's flame
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing contentment with memories of the past
With yesterday's memory
Valuing the importance of being remembered
Knowing you think of me
Reiterating the desire for occasional consideration
Once in a while
Concluding with the recurring theme of occasional remembrance
