Once In Every Long And Lonely While

Matt Monro

Compositor: Hal Shaper / George Martin

Once in every long and lonely while
You will wonder why you were beguiled by her
She with all her little charms is safe in someone else's arms
So why is it, she's still amongst your heart?

Where are all the dreams that once you shared?
Tell yourself you never really cared for her
Fool yourself as time goes by, but then when you believe the lie
Oh, why should you be haunted by her smile?
Just once in every long and lonely while

Fool yourself as time goes by, but then when you believe the lie
Oh, why should you be haunted by her smile?
Just once in every long and lonely while
