[Verse]
Goodbye means our affair has ended
Goodbye means that there's someone new
Though my heartbreak cannot be mended
Dear, I ask only this of you

[Chorus]
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 before we two drifted apart

[Bridge]
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

[Chorus]
I know that I'll
Be contented with yesterday's memory
Knowing you'll think of me once in a while

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I know that I'll
Be contented with yesterday's memory
Knowing you'll think of me once in a while
