Once In Awhile
B. Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics of B. Miller's song "Once In Awhile" convey a sense of longing and yearning for a lost love. The singer pleads for their former partner to think of them occasionally, even though they may now be with someone else. The lyrics express a hope that the memories they shared together can still hold a place in the other person's heart, and that perhaps there is a chance for reconciliation.
The song evokes a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia, as the singer acknowledges that they may never be together again, but still takes solace in the thought that their presence might cross the other person's mind from time to time. This sentiment is emphasized in the line, "I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory," suggesting a resignation to living in the past and cherishing the moments they once had.

Once in a while will you try to give
Will you make an effort from time to time
One little thought to me
To think of me briefly
Though someone else may be
Even if someone else is
Nearer your heart?
Closer to your heart?
Once in a while will you dream
Will you occasionally have dreams
Of the moments I shared with you
About the times we spent together
Moments before we two
Before we drifted apart
Drifted apart?
Became distant from each other?
In love's smoldering ember
Within the dying flame of love
One spark may remain
There might still be a flicker
If love still can remember
If love can still recall
That spark may burn again
That flicker could ignite once more
I know that I'll be contented
I am aware that I'll be satisfied
With yesterday's memory
With the memories of the past
Knowing you think of me
Being aware that you remember me
Once in a while
From time to time
In love's smoldering ember
Within the dying flame of love
One spark may remain
There might still be a flicker
If love still can remember
If love can still recall
The spark may burn again
The flicker could ignite once more
I know that I'll be contented
I am aware that I'll be satisfied
With yesterday's memory
With the memories of the past
Knowing you think of me
Being aware that you remember me
Once in a while
From time to time
