One More Time
Love's Redemption: Embracing Second Chances in 'One More Time'
Lyrics
You gave me sweet things and flowers
You provided me with gestures of affection and beauty
You gave me a sky so blue
You offered me a serene and calm atmosphere
You gave me a rock to lean on
You gave me support and stability
And I gave myself to you
I committed myself entirely to our relationship
We wander through each other's secrets
We shared intimate aspects of each other's lives
We traded an honored word
We exchanged promises and commitments
We shared a solemn promise
We had a mutual and serious agreement
But like the raven's cry, it must be heard
But inevitable truths or problems must be acknowledged
Please don't take away your love dear
Pleading to not withdraw affection
One mistake is not a crime
Emphasizing that making an error isn't a grave offense
Let's start again, my love is yours dear
Suggesting a fresh start and offering love
Your love is mine
Asserting a reciprocal love
One more time, one more time
Requesting another chance, a repetition of an experience
You tell me a cold wind's a'comin'
Forewarning about impending trouble or emotional distance
A chill that turns a heart to stone
Describing a situation that hardens emotions
And your eyes say, it's time to move on
Signaling readiness to move forward alone
Down a road you'd rather walk alone
Choosing a solitary path
Now pride is a raging river
Illustrating the strength and force of pride
You could fell the tallest tree
Indicating the ability to overpower even the strongest
When some need the wings of forgiveness
When forgiveness is necessary
And tame the stormy sea
To bring calmness to turbulent situations
Please don't take away your love dear
Repeated plea to maintain affection
One mistake is not a crime
Reiterating that mistakes are not unforgivable
Let's start again, my love is yours dear
Proposing a restart and reaffirming love
Your love is mine
Reciprocating the love shared
One more time, one more time
Requesting a repetition of an experience
You say that nothing is forever
Stating the impermanence of things
Like the tide that comes in but doesn't stay
Comparing transient events to the tide
But our journey has taken up our lifetime
Reflecting on the entirety of their shared lives
And what you give, you just can't take away
Highlighting the permanence of what's given in a relationship
I can't take away my love dear
Asserting inability to withdraw affection
One mistake is not a crime
Reinforcing the idea that mistakes shouldn't sever love
Let's start again, my love is yours dear
Reiterating the desire for a new beginning
Your love is mine
Reciprocal affirmation of love
One more time
Requesting a chance to repeat or restart
