Once In A While (Please Answer Me) - Aretha Franklin

Once in a while I will dream dear

Knowin' dreams will seldom come true

Yes, but once in a while I will dream dear

And I hope you’ll be thinkin' of me too

Yes, I must confess that I will miss you

Like the stars would miss the sky

Like a whale would miss its water

If it should ever happen to run dry

Although I cried when you left me

Yes, I cried for a year and a day

You know my soul can’t last, my soul just can’t last

Please answer me right away

You know that my soul just can’t last

My, my, my, my, my soul just can’t last

Soul just can’t last, please answer me, please answer me

I said that my soul just can’t last
