Lyrics
Once in a while
Experiencing rare moments
You end up in a town
Arriving in a town unexpectedly
Its doors open up for you
Finding opportunities or hospitality
Step outside to look up and see
Stepping outside and observing the sky
The sky's looking back at you
Feeling a connection with the universe
Her lights rain down
Metaphorical lights descending from the sky
Once in a while
Occasionally receiving unexpected assistance
You get a little help
Receiving help when least anticipated
You least expected to
Surprising support from unexpected sources
You look in the mirror
Self-reflection in a mirror
A couple times to see
Checking multiple times for validation
If all of it is true
Questioning the authenticity of experiences
And your mind's
Mind residing in a blissful state
On a bed of clouds
Metaphorical representation of contentment
Once in a Long, Long While
Rare occurrences happening after a long time
Once in a Long, Long While
Repetition emphasizing infrequency
Once in a Long, Long While
Underlining the rarity of special moments
Once in a while
Getting temporarily disoriented
You get a little lost
Losing one's way in confusion
In the fog between the trees
Navigating challenges or uncertainties
Stumbling out upon the waiting arms
Finding comfort in the embrace of a significant other
Of the woman of your dreams
Encountering the ideal partner or love
And your love
Symbolic expression of love descending
Comes raining down
Love showering down like rain
Once in a Long, Long While
Reiteration of infrequent occurrences
Once in a Long, Long While
Emphasizing the rarity of special events
Once in a Long, Long While
Highlighting the uncommon nature of such moments
Once in a Long, Long While
Repeating the theme of rare experiences
Once in a Long, Long While
Further underscoring the infrequency of significant events
