Once in a While
Nostalgic Yearning: Echoes of Longing and Love Remembered
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Requesting occasional consideration or attention
One little thought to me
Asking for a small space in your thoughts
Though someone else may be
Acknowledging the possibility of someone else being closer to you
Nearer your heart?
Questioning if someone else is in your heart's proximity
Once in a while will you dream
Asking if you will occasionally dream about shared moments
Of the moments I shared with you
Reflecting on past moments shared between the speaker and the listener
Moments before we two
Referring to moments before a separation occurred
Drifted apart?
Expressing the drift or distance that has developed between them
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love as a smoldering ember
One spark may remain
Suggesting the possibility of a lingering spark in the embers of love
If love still can remember
Contemplating if love can recall the past and revive a spark
That spark may burn again
Positing that the remembered spark has the potential to reignite
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing contentment with memories from the past
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with the recollection of shared moments
Knowing you think of me
Acknowledging the listener's thoughts about the speaker
Once in a while
Reiterating the request for occasional thoughts or memories
In love's smoldering ember
Repeating the metaphor of love as a smoldering ember
One spark may remain
Highlighting the potential persistence of a spark in love
If love still can remember
Considering if love can retain memories and revive the spark
The spark may burn again
Suggesting the possibility of rekindling the love
I know that I'll be contented
Reiterating contentment with past memories
With yesterday's memory
Emphasizing satisfaction with memories from yesterday
Knowing you think of me
Noting the importance of the listener thinking about the speaker occasionally
Once in a while
Repeating the desire for occasional thoughts or memories
