Again
Eternal Moments: James Moody's Ode to Love's Rare Encounter
Lyrics
This couldn't happen again
This event is unlikely to occur again.
This is that once in a lifetime
Referring to a unique opportunity or experience in one's life.
This is the thrill divine
Describing the exceptional joy and excitement of the moment.
What's more, this never happened before
Emphasizing the rarity of the current situation.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Expressing a long-standing desire or wish.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Imagining the sudden and unexpected possession of someone special.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Currently holding the person close, but not as close as desired.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Ownership of the moment, aware of its fleeting nature.
What matters, dear, for when
Questioning what is significant when the extraordinary ends.
This doesn't happen again
Acknowledging the impermanence of the unique experience.
We'll have this moment forever
Committing to cherish this moment eternally.
But never, never, again
Contrasting the current occurrence with the impossibility of its recurrence.
Again, this couldn't happen again
Reiterating the unlikelihood of the event repeating.
This is that once in a lifetime
Rephrasing the extraordinary nature of the moment.
This is the thrill divine
Repeating the intense joy and excitement experienced.
What's more, this never happened before
Stressing the unprecedented quality of the situation.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Reaffirming a longstanding desire or prayer.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Envisioning the sudden possession of the desired person.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Currently holding the person, but still feeling a distance.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Having ownership of the moment, aware of its transience.
What matters, dear, for when
Pondering the significance of the moment's end.
This doesn't happen again
Acknowledging the impermanence of the unique experience.
We'll have this moment forever
Committing to eternalize the current moment.
