One in a Lifetime Girl
Eternal Love Journey: Micky & the Motorcars' One in a Lifetime Girl
Lyrics
Remember what I told you in Nevada,
Expressing a memory from Nevada, setting the context for a significant conversation.
Just before I told you please don’t cry
Recalling a moment when the speaker asked the girl not to cry.
No matter where you go girl I’ll be with you
Assuring the girl that the speaker will be with her no matter where she goes.
If you keep me in your heart and on your mind
Emphasizing the importance of keeping the speaker in her heart and thoughts.
Cause you’re my once in a lifetime girl
Declaring the girl as a unique and irreplaceable person in the speaker's life.
And I’m not gonna let you get away
Expressing determination not to let the girl slip away.
You’re my once in a lifetime girl
Reiterating the girl's significance as a once-in-a-lifetime presence.
Hand in hand until our dying day
Promising to be together until the end of their lives, holding hands.
We woke up along the bay in San Francisco
Describing waking up by the bay in San Francisco, recalling a memorable moment.
With Irish coffee on a blue birthday
Specifically mentioning an occasion with Irish coffee on a blue birthday.
And when we missed the bus to Calistoga
Recounting missing a bus to Calistoga and celebrating the twist of fate.
We toasted luck and drank the night away
Highlighting a toast to luck and an evening of drinking together.
Cause you’re my once in a lifetime girl
Reaffirming the girl's uniqueness as a once-in-a-lifetime individual.
And I’m not gonna let you get away
Reasserting the commitment not to let the girl go.
You’re my once in a lifetime girl
Stating the girl's irreplaceable role in the speaker's life.
Hand in hand until our dying day
Pledging to stay together, hand in hand, until the end of their lives.
I walked into a pawn shop down in Austin
Recalling a visit to a pawn shop in Austin, introducing a silver wedding band.
And I walked out with this silver wedding band
Linking the purchase of a wedding band to a symbolic commitment.
That ol’ beat up guitar ain’t quite worth a diamond
Noting the guitar's value, suggesting a deeper connection beyond material worth.
Somehow I knew you would understand
Expressing confidence that the girl will understand the significance of the guitar.
Cause you’re my once in a lifetime girl
Reiterating the girl's exceptional status as a once-in-a-lifetime partner.
And I’m not gonna let you get away
Declaring the commitment to prevent the girl from slipping away.
You’re my once in a lifetime girl
Emphasizing the girl's unique and special role in the speaker's life.
Hand in hand until our dying day
Renewing the promise to stay together, hand in hand, until their dying day.
Hand in hand until our dying day
Reaffirming the commitment to stay hand in hand until their dying day.
