Lyrics
Again
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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, suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
And never, never, never so near
Mine to have when the now
And the here disappear
What matters, what matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
And never, never, never so near
Mine to have when the now
And the here disappear and oh
What matters, what matters, what matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again, again
Never, never again, again
