Lyrics
This couldn't happen again
This experience is unlikely to occur again.
This is that once in a lifetime
Referring to a rare and special occurrence in one's life.
This is the thrill divine
Describing the profound and delightful feeling associated with the moment.
What's more, this never happened before
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the situation, never having occurred previously.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Expressing a long-held desire through prayers for such an event.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Anticipating the sudden possession of someone special, like the listener's current partner.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Feeling a strong connection, holding the person closely, and yet it has never felt so close before.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Highlighting the possession of the moment, even as the present circumstances fade away.
What matters, dear, for when
Addressing the listener affectionately and questioning the significance of the moment.
This doesn't happen again
Acknowledging the rarity of the situation and the uncertainty of it happening again.
We'll have this moment forever
Promising the eternal retention of this special moment.
But never, never, again
Contrasting the promise with the acknowledgment that this specific experience will never repeat.
Again, this couldn't happen again
Reiterating the improbability of the event recurring.
This is that once in a lifetime
Recalling the rare and extraordinary nature of the moment.
This is the thrill divine
Reiterating the intense and divine thrill associated with the experience.
What's more, this never happened before
Stressing that such an occurrence has never happened in the past.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Reaffirming the long-standing desire for the current situation to unfold.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Expressing the sudden fulfillment of the desire, with the person becoming "mine."
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Emphasizing the closeness of the moment, unparalleled in previous experiences.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Asserting possession even when the present fades away.
What matters, dear, for when
Addressing the significance of the moment and questioning its importance.
This doesn't happen again
Reiterating the rarity of the event and the uncertainty of its recurrence.
We'll have this moment forever
Ensuring the eternal memory of the special moment.
