Once in a while
Lenny Cocco & The Chimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Once in a while will you try to give
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?

Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two

Drifted apart?

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory

Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

The phrase "In love's smoldering ember, One spark may remain," is particularly poetic, as it shows that even though the relationship has ended, there may still be a chance for it to reignite.

Line by Line Meaning

Once in a while will you try to give
Do you ever attempt to think of me?


One little thought to me
Just a single moment of remembrance


Though someone else may be
Even if your affections lie elsewhere


Nearer your heart?
And closer to your emotions?


Once in a while will you dream
Do you sometimes ponder


Of the moments I shared with you
The times we spent together


Moments before we two
Before we went our separate ways


Drifted apart?
And became distant from each other?


In love's smoldering ember
Amid the memory of our love


One spark may remain
A small piece of our passion could last


If love still can remember
If our love can hold onto that ember


That spark may burn again
It could ignite once more


I know that I'll be contented
I will be satisfied


With yesterday's memory
Just with memories of the past


Knowing you think of me
But finding solace in the fact that you remember me


Once in a while
Even if it's infrequent
