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
