… Read Full Bio ↴There were at least two different groups with the name The Mystics.
1.) The Mystics, Brooklyn, NY, USA
2.) The Mystics, Macau / Hong Kong
1.) The Mystics are a singing group which began in Brooklyn, New York, USA in the late 1950s. The group was known as The Overons, a quintet that, when signed to Laurie Records, consisted of Phil Cracolici (b. 1937, lead), Albee Cracolici (b. 1936, baritone), George Galfo (b. 1939, second tenor), Bob Ferrante (b. 1936, first tenor), and Al Contrera (b. 1940, bass). Under the direction of their manager, Jim Gribble, The Overons became The Mystics when each group member wrote a name they liked on a slip of paper, placed the papers in a hat and Al Contrera's choice was drawn.
2.) The Mystics were formed in 1965 during the glory years of HK’s English pop scene. The members largely comprised of hkongers of Portugese decent. The band was popular at the school parties and “tea dances”, and recorded chart toppers like I can’t help myself, Sweet soul music, Midnight hour, Going out of my head, Song of the wind, One day (sang by Don Choi) and Send her back (composed by Michael Remedios and Tony Tavares). They disbanded in 1971.

The Mystics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never, again
Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
The Mystics's song, "Again", is a love song about the overwhelming feeling of having found someone special. The lyrics express that the moment is so extraordinary that it could never happen again. The singer emphasizes the transformative quality of their experience and acknowledges that they have prayed for this moment for a lifetime. The chorus repeats the message that this could never happen again, and the couple should cherish the moment that they have now.
The song is a beautiful testament to the tender moments that occur between two people in love. The lyrics express a sense of awe and gratitude for a connection that feels almost cosmic in its significance. It is clear that the singer is deeply in love and can barely believe that they have found someone so unique and extraordinary. The song is a reminder to cherish the special moments in life because they may only happen once.

This couldn't happen again
It is impossible for the same magical experience to recur
This is that once in a lifetime
This is a unique and special occurrence that only comes once
This is the thrill divine
This is an exhilarating and heavenly feeling
What's more, this never happened before
This is unprecedented and unprecedentedly special
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
I have hoped and desired for so long to experience this
That such as you would suddenly be mine
I never expected to have someone as wonderful as you in my life
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near
I grasp you tight, but I can't seem to get closer
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
I will always treasure you, even when the moment has passed
What matters, dear, for when
It doesn't matter, my love, because
This doesn't happen again
This moment won't be repeated
We'll have this moment forever
We will cherish this experience forever
But never, never, again
However, it will never happen again
