A Moment Isn't Very Long

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.
