Once In A While. 1937.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Sept 2000.

Goodbye means our affair is ended,
Goodbye means that there's someone new,

Though my heart cannot be mended,
Dear, I ask only this of you.

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 when we two drifted apart.

In love's smouldering ember,
one spark may remain,

if love still can remember,
the spark may burn again;

I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
knowing you think of me once in a while.

Goodbye though when the words are spoken
hopes die, and all the world is grey,

with my dreams lying round me broken,
Still I ever for you will pray.

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 when we two drifted apart.

In love's smouldering ember,
one spark may remain,

if love still can remember,
the spark may burn again;

I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
knowing you think of me once in a while.
