Again
The Night People Lyrics

Hi, baby
Greeting

Hello
Response to greeting

How you're feeling?
Inquiry about emotional state

Ah, just great
Positive response to inquiry about emotional state

Me too
Agreement with previous statement

Can you imagine: here we are
Rhetorical question about the present situation

Just you and I
Acknowledgement of being alone together

I tell you what
Phrase to initiate a suggestion or idea

What?
Response to the phrase 'I tell you what'

Why don't you come over here
Suggestion to physically move closer

I have something I wanna say to you
Reason for the suggestion

Here I am
Agreement to the suggestion

This couldn't happen again
Acknowledgement of the present moment as a rare occurrence

This is that once in a lifetime
Statement emphasizing the uniqueness of the moment

This is the thrill divine
Expression of intense excitement

Once more
Continuation of previous statement

This never happened before
Acknowledgement that the moment is unprecedented

Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Statement emphasizing the desire for such a moment

(A lifetime, a lifetime)
Repetition for emphasis

That such as you would suddenly be mine
Expression of the desire to be with the person in the moment

Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
Statement of possessiveness

And yet never so near
Realization that the moment is fleeting

Mine to have when the now and the here disappears
Desire to keep the moment alive in memory

What matters dear
Expression of the importance of the moment

Oh, you look so good
Compliment about physical appearance

You know it's ecstacy
Expression of the intensity of the moment

Being together, just you and me
Expression of gratitude for the company of the other person

Always and forever
Statement of permanence

Because this could never happen again
Acknowledgement of the unique nature of the moment

This is definitely a once in a lifetime
Reiteration of the rarity of the moment

Just sitting here by the fireplace
Description of the current physical setting

Little of candlelight, a little wine
Further description of the current setting to emphasize the romance

Makes everything so divine
Expression of appreciation for the details leading to the moment

Mine to have as I'm holding you now
Statement of possession and enjoyment of the moment

And yet never so near
Realization of the fleeting nature of the moment

Mine to have when the now and the here disappears
Intention to hold onto the memory of the moment

What matters dear
Expression of the importance of the moment

We'll have this moment forever
Desire to keep the memory of the moment alive

Ever and ever
Reiteration of permanence

But never, never again
Realization that the moment cannot be repeated

How can one that be so lovely
Expression of awe and wonder

I love you baby
Confession of love

So fine
Expression of admiration

Love everything about you
Description of admiration for the other person

but you know that anyways
Acknowledgement that the other person is aware of the admiration

How can we be so lucky
Expression of gratitude for the moment and the other person

Me too you and I
Acknowledgement of shared gratitude and connection

Here we are again
Reflection on the moment and the rarity of it happening again

you know I know
Acknowledgement of mutual understanding

we're lucky just to have each other
Expression of gratitude for the other person's presence in their life

This couldn't happen
Acknowledgement that the moment is rare and unlikely to occur again

No, this couldn't happen
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the moment

(This couldn't happen again)
Refrain to emphasize the rareness of the moment

(What great was that time)
Refrain to express the significance of the moment

(For this to happen again)
Refrain to express the rarity of the moment
