Kenny G has long been the musician many jazz listeners love to hate. A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts, Kenny G's sound has been a staple on adult contemporary jazz and smooth jazz radio stations since the mid-'80s, making him a household name. Kenny G is a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.) who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the top of "contemporary jazz" charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as a jazz artist.
One More Time
Kenny G Lyrics

I reach out to touch you
Feel you by my side
And I reach, and I reach,
But I never get to feel you
Will I ever get to feel you again, again
Just one more time
To take you in my arms
One more chance
One more kiss
Before I wake to find you gone
One more time
Before I have to face another bad day,
And my heart breaks again
It's only a dream
But it's all so real
Don't want it to end
But I know it will
So I pray, and I pray
Every night I'm on my knees
Begging for the chance to see you
Again, again
Just one more time
One more moment
To take you in my arms
One more chance
One more kiss
Before I wake to find you gone
One more time
Before I have to face another bad day,
And my heart breaks again
Oh one more time
Before I have to face another day,
And my heart breaks again
Again...

The uncertainty and pain of the situation are palpable, leaving the listener empathizing with the emotional depth of the song.

I lie half awake, late at night
I am semi-conscious in the middle of the night
I reach out to touch you
I extend my hand trying to physically touch you
Feel you by my side
Sense your presence near me
And I reach, and I reach,
Repetitively extend my hand
But I never get to feel you
I can't actually perceive your figure
Will I ever get to feel you again, again
Will I ever sense you near me once again
Just one more time
Only once more
One more moment
One additional occasion
To take you in my arms
To hug you
One more chance
One more possibility
One more kiss
One more peck on the lips
Before I wake to find you gone
Before my eyes open and you leave
Before I have to face another bad day,
Before another unpleasant day begins
And my heart breaks again
And I become heartbroken all over again
It's only a dream
It's just a fantasy
But it's all so real
But it feels true
Don't want it to end
Don't want it to stop
But I know it will
But I'm aware it'll come to an end
So I pray, and I pray
So I'm begging, and I'm begging
Every night I'm on my knees
Every night, I'm pleading earnestly
Begging for the chance to see you
Imploring for the privilege to behold you
Oh one more time
Oh, just one time more
Before I have to face another day,
Before the next day starts
Again...
Once more...
