Nat “King” Cole
Once in a While
[Verse 1]
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
That spark may burn again

[Verse 2]
I know that I'll
Be contented with yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Once in a while
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
[Outro]
I know that I'll
Be contented with yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
Once in a while
