Again - Original - Dinah Washington

Again, this couldn’t happen again

This is that once in a lifetime

This is the thrill divine

What' 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 till the now

And the then disappear

What matters dear for when

This doesn’t happen again

We’ll have this moment forever

But never, never again
