Once in Awhile
The Chimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though someone else maybe nearer your heart
Once in awhile 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, the spark may burn again a-a-a-a-and
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's mem-ory,
Knowing you'll think of me once in awhile.

It's a plea for acknowledgement and a hope that the love they once shared can be remembered.
The second verse speaks to the memory of the moments shared between the singer and the listener before their relationship turned cold. The spark of love may still exist, buried deep within their hearts, waiting for a chance to reignite. The chorus emphasizes the power of memories and how they can bring comfort even when the present reality is not ideal. The singer recognizes that they may never have the chance to rekindle their relationship, but a simple thought can provide solace.

How may I say, how much I love this song!!
My parents met on the last song of a Sunday night at a local dance.
Born in nineteen sixty-seven, I am the sum total of those two people.
Two dancers and now a drummer , of the farm league of the family of Denver Blues musicians!!!
" We keep the flame of old school music alive!!"
The accumulated musical knowledge , of ...
The 20th Century!!
Children of the doo- wop era!!!!

It's too bad most of the younger people won't appreciate how nice it was to dance to this song no matter what or who they dance with.
