I'll sing a song every once in a while,

about a face that once did smile.

I'll play in tune but out of style,

play a song once in a while,

a song about the way we did kiss.


Look at the moon in the sky up above.

So far from us, how could it know any love?

Beneath the stars of which we're struck,

there are two eyes I won't give up.

And, for her, I'll play a song once in a while.


Across the sea, have no fear, I won't retreat.

That burning bridge is gone enough for me.

On the shore of which we meet,

so happy there, I will be.

And for her, I'll play a song once in a while.


With all my hope and some clothes, I hit the road

to try and find some place I can go.

But then I feel so alone,

I must return home.

And for her, I'll play a song once in a while.


I'll play a song to cherish you.

I'll play a song to remember you without having to say your name.

I'll play a song to hold onto you like you're my last breath, because I know you are.

I'll play a song because it's all I can do.

I'll play a song until I forget about you.

I'll play a song until I know I can't.
