Once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me Though someone else maybe nearer your heart 
Once in a while 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. 
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory, Knowing you think of me once in a while.
