Lyrics:

Once in awhile will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else maybe nearer your heart

Once in awhile will you dream of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two drifted apart

In love's smoldering ember one spark may remain
If love still can remember, the spark may burn again a-a-a-a-and

I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's mem-ory,
Knowing you'll think of me once in awhile.
