Once in a While
Memories Ignite: Patti Page's Tender Reflections on Love
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Request to occasionally make an effort to understand
One little thought to me
Ask for a small consideration or attention
Though someone else may be
Even if someone else is closer to you emotionally
Nearer your heart?
Questioning the proximity of someone else to your heart
Once in a while will you dream
Request to occasionally dream about shared moments
Of the moments I shared with you
Recalling moments spent together
Moments before we two
Reflecting on moments before the separation
Drifted apart?
Acknowledging the emotional drift leading to parting ways
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love as a smoldering ember
One spark may remain
Suggesting the potential for a lingering spark in love
If love still can remember
Positing that love can recall and retain memories
That spark may burn again
Expressing the possibility of rekindling the spark
I know that I'll be contented
Contentment with memories from the past
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with memories of yesterday
Knowing you think of me
Awareness of being in someone's thoughts
Once in a while
Reiteration of the occasional request for thoughtfulness
In love's smoldering ember
Reiteration of the lingering spark in love
One spark may remain
Highlighting the potential persistence of love's spark
If love still can remember
Emphasizing the role of love's memory in rekindling
The spark may burn again
Reaffirming the possibility of love burning again
I know that I'll be contented
Contentment with memories as a source of happiness
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with the recollection of past experiences
Knowing you think of me
Awareness of being remembered from time to time
Once in a while
Reiteration of the hope for occasional thoughts
