Once in a While

Once in a while
She don't want to call you
Speaking on the telephone
And once in your life
She won't want to know you
You look around
The one you found she is gone
And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to turn to stone
The sweeter the wine
The harder to make the break
You hear something
About someone you thought you'd known
So, baby don't cry
Like there's no tomorrow
After the night there's brand new day
And there'll be no pain and no more sorrow
So wash your face
And phone my place, it'll be okay
And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to beat again
So give me a sign
That a lover makes
You look around
The one you found is back again
