Once In a While
WILLIAM HENRY BUTLER
Once in a while won't you try to give one little thought to me,
Though someone else may be nearer your heart.
Once in a while won't you dream of the moments I shared with you,
Moments before we two drifted apart.
In love's smouldering ember one spark may remain.
If love can remember that spark may burn again.
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memories,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.
