Again
Eternal Moments of Love: Ruth Cameron's Once-in-a-Lifetime Melody
Lyrics
This couldn't happen again
This moment is considered unlikely to recur.
This is that once in a lifetime
Referring to a unique occurrence in one's lifetime.
This is the thrill divine
Describing an extraordinary and divine feeling.
What's more, this never happened before
Emphasizing the unprecedented nature of the experience.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Expressing a long-standing desire through prayers.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
An unexpected realization of having someone special.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Feeling the closeness of the person held in the moment.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Highlighting possession in the transient nature of time.
What matters, dear, for when
Questioning the significance of the experience.
This doesn't happen again
Acknowledging the potential rarity of such moments.
We'll have this moment forever
Committing to cherish the moment forever.
But never, never, again
Contrasting the uniqueness with the unlikelihood of recurrence.
Again, this couldn't happen again
Reiteration of the improbability of the moment repeating.
This is that once in a lifetime
Reaffirming the exceptional nature of the experience.
This is the thrill divine
Re-emphasizing the divine and thrilling quality of the moment.
What's more, this never happened before
Repeating the idea that this has never occurred before.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Recalling a history of longing and prayers for this moment.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Reiterating the surprise and sudden possession of a special person.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Expressing the closeness of the held person in the current moment.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Emphasizing ownership in the face of fleeting time.
What matters, dear, for when
Posing a rhetorical question about the significance of the experience.
This doesn't happen again
Anticipating the potential non-recurrence of this moment.
We'll have this moment forever
Committing to eternalize the current moment in memory.
