Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the lovin' you gave me
The feelings we shared
And I still can remember
How you touched me so tender
You told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
A second once in a lifetime
Maybe too much to ask but I swear from now on'
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time we'll never end, ooh'ooh
Now I'm seein' clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There's something between us
That won't ever leave us
There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn't know it till my life fell apart
A second once in a lifetime
Isn't too much to ask 'cause I swear from the heart'
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time we'll never end
Never end
The best of romances
Deserves second chances
I'll get to you somehow
'Cause I promise now'
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time we'll never end
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time we'll never end
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time we'll never end
