One More Time
♫ Laura Pausini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing I must do
Nowhere I should be
No one in my life
To answer to but me

No more candlelight
No more purple skies
No one to be near
As my heart slowly dies

If I could hold you one more time
like in the days when you where mine
I'd look at you 'till I was blind
So you would stay

I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time

(Hmm)

I've memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I'd dream of where you are

(Hmm)

If I could hold you one more time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you 'till I was blind
So you would stay

I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time





One more time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Laura Pausini's song One more time is an emotional ballad about the heartbreak of losing someone you love. The singer expresses a sense of freedom and relief from the pressures of life now that they are no longer answering to anyone else but themselves. There's a sense of emptiness without the significant other, and the nostalgia of their past relationship is not enough to hide the pain of loneliness. The desperation to hold them one more time is so strong that they would "look at you 'till I was blind" to make it happen.


The chorus repeats the plea to hold the lost love interest one more time, with the singer emphasizing that they would cherish every moment, describing it as cradling each moment like a child. The song speaks to anyone who has lost someone they loved and wishes for just one more moment with them to relive the feelings they once had. The song's bridge is a reminder of the moments the singer spent with their love interest and how they still feel their touch and hold on to the memories. The song ends with the final plea for "one more time."
