There Is Always One More Time
B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your whole life somehow
Wasn't much 'til now
And you've almost lost
Your will to live
No matter what you've been through
Long as there's breath in you
There is always one more time
And if your dreams go bad
Every one that you've had
That don't mean that some dreams
Can't come true
'Cause it's funny about dreams
As strange as it seems
There is always one more time

Oh turnin' corners
Is only a state of mind
Keeping your eyes closed
Is worse than being blind

If there's a heart out there
Looking for someone to share
I don't care if it's been
Turned down time and time again
And if we meet one day
Please don't walk away




'Cause there is always one more time
There is always one more time

Line by Line Meaning

If your whole life somehow
Even if for most of your life you've felt like it wasn't worth much


Wasn't much 'til now
That all could change


And you've almost lost
And you feel like


Your will to live
You can't find a reason to keep going


No matter what you've been through
Even if you 've been through tough times before


Long as there's breath in you
As long as you're still alive


There is always one more time
There's always a chance that it could get better


And if your dreams go bad
And if your hopes and aspirations don't come true


Every one that you've had
Every single one that didn't work out


That don't mean that some dreams
It doesn't mean that some other dreams


Can't come true
Can't still come to fruition


'Cause it's funny about dreams
Because it's interesting how


As strange as it seems
As surprising as it may be


There is always one more time
There's always a chance that things could turn around


Oh turnin' corners
Moving on from difficult times


Is only a state of mind
Is only how you perceive it


Keeping your eyes closed
Ignoring what's happening around you


Is worse than being blind
Is worse than not seeing at all


If there's a heart out there
If there's someone out there


Looking for someone to share
Looking for someone to connect with


I don't care if it's been
It doesn't matter if it's already happened


Turned down time and time again
Been rejected multiple times before


And if we meet one day
And if we happen to cross paths someday


Please don't walk away
Don't leave me standing there alone


'Cause there is always one more time
Because there may be another chance for things to work out


There is always one more time
There is always a chance for redemption

on Always On My Mind

Here's BB King's Version - Lyrics

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I should have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I could have

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
That I am so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
ou were always on my mind

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Musical Interlude

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
