A Moment Isn't Very Long


    D                           G     D
Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town,
                                A
I forgot to remember that you'd gone.
           D            G    D
For a moment, I found myself smilin',
                    A     D 
But a moment isn't very long.
                        
                       G             D    
An' last night as I danced with a stranger,
                                   A
An' she held her cheek close to my own,
         D               G     D
For a moment, I almost forgot you,
                   A      D
But a moment isn't very long.
 
      G                               D
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
                                                 A
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
       D                           G     D
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
                          A        D
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
                      G             D
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
                    A    D
But a moment isn't very long. 

Instrumental break. 

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.
