Lyrics

Yesterday as I talked with a friend in town I forgot to remember that you're gone
For a moment I found myself smiling but a moment isn't very long
And last night as I danced with a stranger and she held her cheek close to my own
For a moment I almost forgot you but a moment isn't very long
Every now and then I get a chance to smile
But those every now and thens just last a little while
And 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
[ steel ]
Every now and then..
But a moment isn't very long
