Just One More Time
Severus Snape & Lily Potter with occasional other character Song Fic
Hi I decided to use a song that my grandmother helped to compose about her late husband. I thought it was quit fitting for Snape in remembrance of Lily and others who were close and/or dear to him.
The bits in Italics not including the lyrics mean it's a flashback.
Song: Just One More time
Composer: Betty Phillips
As Nagini sunk her fangs into his neck, Snape finally knew that all those times those people had been saying that your life flashed before your eyes had been right, because as he lay dying he saw her, his beautiful, fiery, Lily, in all her beauty as they were growing up…
Just one more time,
The touch of your hand,
As we strolled along the shore.
"Hey don't worry Lils, I'm sure you'll be great"
"Are you sure? I mean I have so much to learn, won't I be far behind all the other kids?"
"No, your amazing, I bet you'll be the best in the year!"
I smiled at her, as she took my hand and we continued our walk around the pond.
…The jagged raw edges of his heart grating against each other as he remembered his lost love, his never won love…
Just one more time,
The warmth of your lips,
As you kissed me long ago.
…He could still feel the imprint of her lips as she kissed his cheek, a thank you for standing up to the school bullies…
Just one more time,
Just to hear you laugh,
As we shared a private joke.
…Their little joke, that Potter and his brainless friends would never know, that he had been victorious in pranking them and having enough luck and brains to avoid getting caught…
Just more time,
The sound of the silence,
When we never spoke.
"I don't need help from filthy little mudbloods like her!"
Oh no what had he said! It was over she'd never speak to him again.
Just one more time, but it can never be,
It's all I ask, but know it never shall be,
You're all I need I lost a part of me,
I was all-alone so very suddenly.
Just one more time,
Lying in your arms,
Where I was safe from harm.
…I'm so sorry mother, I've let you down. You'd always told me to never let go to the things that mattered most to me, to fight for what I wanted, I failed…
Just one more time,
The love light in your eyes,
As you smiled and used your charm.
…He could never resist helping her with Transfiguration when she looked at him like that…
Just one more time, but it can never be,
It's all I ask, but know it never shall be,
You're all I need I lost a part of me,
I was all-alone so very suddenly.
Just one more time,
These things I have no need,
My memories of laughter and tears,
…He could feel his life leaving him…
Appear to me on your healing wings,
And always have been,
For all of these years.
…There above him were her eyes, Lily's eyes welcoming him home, he could finally rest…
Just one more time, but it can never be,
It's all I ask, but know it never shall be,
You're all I need I lost a part of me,
I was all alone so very suddenly.
Just one more time, but it can never be,
It's all I ask, but know it never shall be,
You're all I need I lost a part of me,
I was all alone so very suddenly.
You're all I need I lost a part of me,
I was all alone so very suddenly.
Just one more time, but it can never be,
It's all I ask, but know it never shall be
…"Take . . . it . . . Take . . . it."
… I'm coming Lilly.
