Once more with feeling, and once more (once more) for the band.

Stumble through the stages of a song,
I fumble with the phrases I've been counting on for so long to get by,
A feeling they apply to everyone but me,
Jesus, I have stared so hard into the light,
My vision isn't what it used to be. (what it used to be)

But, with every ounce of strength, I'm saving the best until the end,
Once more with feeling, and once more by your hand, (once more by your hand)
And, like a tune that's never fading, play through me again,
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band. (once more for the band)

Painted from the praises I suppose,
Framing every face I ever dared to show,
It all goes by so fast,
And here I am at last, waking from these dreams,
Jesus, I have listened to the crowds so long, it's hard to hear your voice above the screams. (voice above the screams)

But, with every ounce of strength, I'm saving the best until the end,
Once more with feeling, and once more by your hand, (once more by your hand)
And, like a tune that's never fading, play through me again,
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band.

Alright,
Let's hear it once more for the band,
Once more.

With every ounce of strength, I'm saving the best until the end,
Once more with feeling, and once more by your hand, (once more by your hand)
And, like a tune that's never fading, play through me again,
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band, (once more for the band)
With every ounce of strength, I'm saving the best until the end,
Once more with feeling, and once more by your hand, (once more by your hand)
And, like a tune that's never fading, play through me again,
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band, (once more for the band)
Yeah. (strength I'm saving)

(once more by your hand)
Like a tune that's never fading, play through me again,
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band.
