Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town, I forgot to remember that you'd gone. For a moment, I found myself smilin', But a moment isn't very long. An' last night as I danced with a stranger, An' she held her cheek close to my own, For a moment, I almost forgot you, But a moment isn't very long. Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, But those every now an' thens just last a little while. An' tonight I've got a date with a new love, But I know I'd do just as well at home. For a moment, maybe I could forget you. But a moment isn't very long. Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, But those every now an' thens just last a little while. An' tonight I've got a date with a new love, But I know I'd do just as well at home. For a moment, maybe I could forget you. But a moment isn't very long.
