Once in a while
Will you try
To give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?
Once in a while
Will you dream
Of the moments
I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again
I know that I'll
Be contented with
Yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
Interlude
Once in a while
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
I know that I'll
Be contented with
Yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
Once in a while
