A MOMENT ISN'T VERY LONG
by Willie Nelson

Yesterday as I talked with a friend in town
I forgot to remember that you've gone
For a moment I found myself smiling
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 forget 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 forget you
But a moment isn't very long
