A Moment Isn't Very Long

(Willie Nelson)



Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town

I forgot to remember that you'd gone

And for a moment I found my lips smilin'

But a moment isn't very long.



And last night as I danced with a stranger

And she held her cheek close to my own

For a moment I almost forgot you

But a moment isn't very long.



Every now and then

I get a chance to smile

But those every now and thens

Just last a little while.



And 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 forgot you

But a moment isn't very long.



But a moment isn't very long...
