Lyrics[]
Once in a while
Won'tcha try to give one little thought to me?
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?
Once in a while
Won'tcha think 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, uh, in a while
