Once in a While
Love's Flicker: A Melodic Reflection on Memories and Second Chances
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Asking if, occasionally, the listener will make an effort to show care or consideration.
One little thought to me
Requesting a small amount of attention or consideration from the listener.
Though someone else may be
Acknowledging the possibility that someone else might be closer emotionally to the listener.
Nearer your heart?
Questioning whether someone else holds a more significant place in the listener's heart.
Once in a while will you dream
Posing a query about whether the listener occasionally dreams or reflects on shared moments.
Of the moments I shared with you
Referring to specific moments that were experienced together with the listener.
Moments before we two
Recalling moments that occurred before the two individuals grew distant or separated.
Drifted apart?
Expressing the acknowledgment of drifting apart from the listener.
In love's smoldering ember
Describing love's fading intensity with the metaphor of smoldering embers.
One spark may remain
Suggesting that a small amount of love may still linger despite the fading intensity.
If love still can remember
Speculating that love, if it recalls the past, might rekindle the remaining spark.
That spark may burn again
Anticipating the possibility of renewed passion if love remembers and acknowledges the past.
I know that I'll be contented
Expressing a personal resolution to find contentment in memories from the past.
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with memories of the previous day and the shared experiences.
Knowing you think of me
Highlighting the importance of knowing that the listener occasionally thinks about the speaker.
Once in a while
Reiterating the request for occasional thoughts or consideration from the listener.
In love's smoldering ember
Repeating the metaphor of love's smoldering ember and the potential for a lingering spark.
One spark may remain
Reiterating the idea that a small spark may endure within the fading love.
If love still can remember
Emphasizing the role of love's memory in the potential rekindling of the remaining spark.
The spark may burn again
Stressing the possibility of renewed passion if love retains memories of the shared past.
I know that I'll be contented
Restating the personal commitment to finding contentment in past memories.
With yesterday's memory
Reaffirming satisfaction with memories of the previous day and the shared experiences.
Knowing you think of me
Reinforcing the importance of knowing that the listener occasionally thinks about the speaker.
Once in a while
Concluding by reiterating the request for occasional thoughts or consideration from the listener.
