Lyrics to Once in a While

[Verse 1]
Goodbye means our affair has ended
Goodbye means that there's someone new
Though my heartbreak cannot be mended
Dear, I ask only this of you

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

[Chorus 2]
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you'll think of me
Once in a while

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2]
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
