Once in a While
Fausto Papetti 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fausto Papetti's song "Once in a While" speak to the longing and hope of a person who still carries feelings for someone who has drifted away. The singer pleads with their loved one to simply consider them occasionally, even if someone else now holds a closer place in their heart. The lyrics express a desire to be remembered and thought of by the one they still care for.


The song acknowledges the possibility that, just like a smoldering ember, there may still be a small spark of love remaining. It suggests that if love can still recall the past moments shared between the two, that spark may ignite and burn brightly once again. The singer accepts that they may never be with their loved one again, but finds contentment in the memories of the past, knowing that they are thought of at least once in a while.


This song beautifully captures the wistful feeling of holding onto a flicker of hope, even in the face of a love that has faded. It speaks to the universal experience of longing for someone who has moved on, yet finding solace in the memories that still bring a sense of connection.

When I listen to this music of fausto papetti, it takes me to memories of 39 years ago that I was student and lived at Darake (northwest of Tehran. I had a cassette of fausto,s songs and used to listen that.
The hard and cold winter that I experienced there is unforgettable.!!
