Again

Again
music by Lionel Newman (upper right)
lyric by Dorcas Cochran

Again, this couldn't happen again,
This is that once in a lifetime, this is that 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,
But never, never again...

Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near.
Mine to have when the now and the near disappear;
What matters dear...

For, when this doesn't happen again, we'll have this moment forever,
But never, never again...
