For Once in Your Life
Pretty Maids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hanging by the phone waiting impatiently
I'm in a minor key but still there's no reply
Sitting counting days going through endless nights
But baby still the light of your star fills my sky

Here we are facing trouble again
We've been down this road before
There ain't no point in this struggle my friend
Love will find away

For once in your life
Give in to surrender
Let the tears of your pride
Flow away in the rain
And start all over

All you left was just a bunch of photographs
The slices of the past and now we're worlds apart
But baby your picture makes no substitute
It can't replace the beauty the fire in your heart

And now we're stuck with all the hurting and lies
All the foolish things we say
Maybe we both could need a pair of new eyes
And see things the same now baby

[Chorus]

If love still stand a chance
Life still goes on
In the name of romance
You're still the one

Girl without your love I feel so out of place
A man without a face my heart has broke in two
I'm feeling blue
So girl you've got to give me all your tenderness
You know that one sweet kiss will make my dreams come true
I'm beggin for you

Why don't we break the chain of pain and reach out
For the healing hands of love
And rediscover what it's all about
And let love begin now baby

[Chorus]





Lets start all over
All over again

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "For Once in Your Life" by Pretty Maids expresses the feeling of a person who is waiting impatiently for a response from a loved one. The person is disappointed, because even though he is trying to reach out to the love of his life, there is no reply. The mention of "minor key" in the lyrics signifies his sadness and melancholic feelings that he is currently experiencing while trying to connect with the one he loves. Despite the disappointment, the person still feels the power and light of the star of his loved one, indicating that they have a strong connection.


The second verse talks about the challenges in their relationship, which the couple has faced before. They are struggling with their love for each other, but the lyrics suggest that there is no point in their struggle. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for the loved one to surrender and let the tears of pride "flow away in the rain" so that they can start all over again. The song, therefore, highlights the importance of forgiveness and letting go of past hurt.
