Once in a While
Love's Flickering Hope: Once in a While
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Requesting occasional effort to reciprocate feelings
One little thought to me
Asking for a small consideration or acknowledgment
Though someone else may be
Even if someone else is closer to you emotionally
Nearer your heart?
Questioning the emotional proximity to another person
Once in a while will you dream
Requesting occasional dreams or thoughts about shared moments
Of the moments I shared with you
Reflecting on past shared experiences
Moments before we two
Recalling moments before a drift in the relationship
Drifted apart?
Acknowledging the emotional separation
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love's enduring presence
One spark may remain
Highlighting the potential for a spark in fading love
If love still can remember
Suggesting that love can recall the past
That spark may burn again
Expressing the possibility of rekindling love
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing contentment with past memories
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with memories from the past
Knowing you think of me
Understanding that the person thinks of the speaker
Once in a while
Desire for occasional thoughts or considerations
In love's smoldering ember
Reiterating the enduring nature of love's spark
One spark may remain
Emphasizing the potential persistence of love
If love still can remember
Reaffirming that love can remember and revive
The spark may burn again
Stressing the possibility of love burning again
I know that I'll be contented
Reiterating satisfaction with past memories
With yesterday's memory
Being content with memories from the past
Knowing you think of me
Acknowledging the significance of being in someone's thoughts
Once in a while
Expressing the desire for occasional remembrance
