Once in a While
Whispers of Love: A Glimpse into Longing and Memories
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Asking if, occasionally, you can make an effort to consider
One little thought to me
Requesting a small moment of reflection about the speaker
Though someone else may be
Even if someone else is closer to your heart
Nearer your heart?
Questioning the emotional proximity to another person
Once in a while will you dream
Expressing a desire for occasional dreams about shared moments
Of the moments I shared with you
Referring to past moments shared between the speaker and the listener
Moments before we two
Reflecting on moments preceding a separation
Drifted apart?
Acknowledging a drifting apart in the relationship
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love's residual warmth or passion
One spark may remain
Suggesting that a small spark of love may endure
If love still can remember
Exploring the possibility that love retains memories
That spark may burn again
Believing that a rekindling of love is possible
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing contentment with memories from the past
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with the recollection of past experiences
Knowing you think of me
Acknowledging the importance of being in the listener's thoughts
Once in a while
Reiterating the request for occasional consideration and remembrance
In love's smoldering ember
Repeating the idea of a lingering warmth or passion in love
One spark may remain
Emphasizing the potential persistence of a spark in love
If love still can remember
Reiterating the concept that love may retain memories
The spark may burn again
Stating the possibility of rekindling love through remembered sparks
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing satisfaction with past memories and experiences
With yesterday's memory
Being content with the recollection of the past
Knowing you think of me
Highlighting the importance of being remembered by the listener
Once in a while
Repeating the request for occasional thoughts and remembrance
