Once in a While
Eternal Embers: Unveiling Love's Resilience in 'Once in a While'
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Asking if the listener can make an effort occasionally to consider or acknowledge
One little thought to me
Requesting a small, thoughtful gesture or attention from the listener
Though someone else may be
Acknowledging the possibility of someone else being closer to the listener emotionally
Nearer your heart?
Questioning if there is someone else who holds a more significant place in the listener's heart
Once in a while will you dream
Asking if the listener ever dreams about past shared moments
Of the moments I shared with you
Referencing specific moments shared between the speaker and the listener
Moments before we two
Referring to moments before the speaker and the listener drifted apart
Drifted apart?
Expressing the separation between the speaker and the listener
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love as a smoldering ember, hinting at fading passion
One spark may remain
Suggesting the possibility of a lingering spark in the remains of the relationship
If love still can remember
Contemplating whether love can recall the past and revive a spark
That spark may burn again
Positing that if love remembers, it has the potential to rekindle
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing the speaker's potential contentment with memories from the past
With yesterday's memory
Highlighting the value of yesterday's memories to the speaker
Knowing you think of me
Emphasizing the importance of the listener thinking about the speaker
Once in a while
Reiterating the occasional desire for the listener to think about the speaker
In love's smoldering ember
Recalling the metaphor of love as a smoldering ember with the potential for a spark
One spark may remain
Reiterating the idea that a spark may still exist in the remnants of love
If love still can remember
Positing that love's memory can play a role in rekindling the spark
The spark may burn again
Suggesting the possibility of the spark reigniting if love remembers
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing potential contentment with memories from the past, echoing earlier sentiments
With yesterday's memory
Reiterating the significance of yesterday's memories to the speaker
Knowing you think of me
Emphasizing the importance of the listener's thoughts about the speaker, echoing earlier lines
Once in a while
Repeating the occasional desire for the listener to think about the speaker
