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.

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.
