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
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 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
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
