Once in a While
Chasing Embers: Rediscovering Love's Flicker
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Expressing a request for occasional consideration or attention.
One little thought to me
Asking for a small gesture of thought or reflection.
Though someone else may be
Suggesting that there may be someone else closer emotionally.
Nearer your heart?
Questioning the proximity of someone else to the listener's heart.
Once in a while will you dream
Requesting to occasionally dream about shared moments.
Of the moments I shared with you
Reflecting on past moments shared with the listener.
Moments before we two
Recalling moments before the relationship drifted apart.
Drifted apart?
Expressing acknowledgment of the separation.
In love's smoldering ember
Describing the remaining warmth in the aftermath of love.
One spark may remain
Suggesting the possibility of a lingering emotional connection.
If love still can remember
Exploring the idea that love retains memories.
That spark may burn again
Indicating the potential for revived passion.
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing a sense of satisfaction with past memories.
With yesterday's memory
Being content with memories from the past.
Knowing you think of me
Acknowledging the importance of being in the listener's thoughts.
Once in a while
Reiterating the desire for occasional consideration.
In love's smoldering ember
Repeating the idea of lingering warmth in love.
One spark may remain
Reiterating the possibility of a remaining spark.
If love still can remember
Emphasizing the role of love's memory in rekindling passion.
The spark may burn again
Highlighting the potential for renewed emotional intensity.
I know that I'll be contented
Restating contentment with past memories.
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with the recollection of shared experiences.
Knowing you think of me
Acknowledging the importance of being remembered.
Once in a while
Reiterating the desire for occasional consideration.
