손안에 불어와 잡힐듯 사라져간
야속한 바람처럼 멀어진 그대
가슴을 붙잡고 숨죽여서 흐느끼는 밤
어둠속에서 나의 하루가 서글픔으로 지나간다
힘들게 지우고 지워도 또 다시 그려지는
아픈 기억들이 슬픈 우리 사랑을 더 슬프게해
아무리 감추고 감춰도 자꾸 눈가에 차오르는
나의 눈물처럼 흘러 넘치는 그리움 나는 어떻게 해

행여나 꿈에라도 볼 수 있을까
애타게 기다리면 만나지려나
쓸쓸한 저 달에 나의 소원을 빌어본다
그댈 한번만 다시 한번만 울음 섞인 나의 혼잣말
힘들게 지우고 지워도 또다시 그려지는
아픈 기억들이 슬픈 우리 사랑을 더 슬프게해
아무리 감추고 감춰도 자꾸 눈가에 차오르는
나의 눈물처럼 흘러 넘치는 그리움 나는 어떻게 해
슬픈 꿈에서만 내 곁에 오는 그대란걸
알지만 알고 있지만 나는 조금도 놓지 못해
힘들게 지우고 지워도 또다시 그려지는
아픈 기억들이 슬픈 우리 사랑을 더 슬프게해

아무리 감추고 감춰도 자꾸 눈가에 차오르는
나의 눈물처럼 흘러 넘치는 그리움 나는 어떻게 해

The chorus repeats the phrase "how can I get over this longing that overflows like tears from my eyes?" The singer is questioning if they will ever be able to see their lover again, even in a dream, and they make a wish on the lonely moon. The bridge admits that the singer knows their lover only comes to them in sad dreams, but they cannot let go of the pain and continue to long for them.

The lyrics to "一度だけ" are poignant and filled with sorrow, capturing the feelings of loss and longing after the end of a relationship.
