Every Once in a While

(verse)
Moving through the years
Nothing anymore brings tears
Things seem to be alright
Until my brain takes flight

(verse)
Moving slowly though time
I still find the same rhyme
But my eyes see no tears
I forgot all your fears

(semi-chorus)
But every once in a while
The thought of you crosses my mind
And my mind races back through the years
And it's these times I find...

(verse)
Trudging on through my life
A thought cuts like a knife
Am I really growing?
It seems nowhere I'm going

(semi-chorus)
And every once in a while
The thought of you crosses my mind
And my mind races back through miles
And it's these times that I find

(chorus)
Tears can still touch my eye
I wonder where you lie
And who is there beside
And just how much you cried

(verse)
Moving on through the years
Having forgotten your fears
I seem to be alright
Until I think at night

(semi-chorus)
'Cause every once in a while
You push back into my mind
And I find there's a file
All about you in my mind

(chorus)
Brings a tear to my eye
To know I let it die
And who is there beside
It was too late I tried

(semi-chorus)
But every once in a while
The thought of you crosses my mind
And my mind races back many miles
To the times we ended in piles

(chorus)
So tears can touch my eye
And I wonder where you lie
And who is there beside...
And just how much you cried
When you knew it was gone.
