Lyrics
- Goodbye means our affair is ended
Goodbye means that there’s someone new
Though my heart-break 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
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
- Goodbye though when the words are spoken
Hopes die, and all the world is grey
With my dreams lying round me broken
Still I ever for you will pray
