"Once In a While" by Scottlynn Ballard

Once in a while,

I hear a song that reminds me of you.

It starts with a sweet, cotton candy melody--

Melting on my tongue before I can describe the taste--

Bright and sweet and full of lovely air

(Just like your hair, your smile, your eyes now that I recall)

I harmonize to life your sounds to the sky

Drum line to your chorus, tenor to your bass

Sometimes I wonder how that would taste--bittersweet?

Maybe someday we’ll perform this tune for people too

Though Lyrics can’t capture speechless like guitar strings do

Can’t say I love you with the gravitas of drums

Leave me ringing in your ears.

Tune your heart to my bassline

and you’ll find the pulse in this music,

a carnival concert

Once in a while,

I hear a song that reminds me of you.
