A Moment Isn't Very Long Lyrics - Building Heartaches - Willie Nelson

Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town, 

I forgot to remember that you'd gone. 

For a moment, I found myself smilin', 

But a moment isn't very long. 

An' last night as I danced with a stranger, 

An' she held her cheek close to my own, 

For a moment, I almost forgot you, 

But a moment isn't very long. 

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, 

But those every now an' thens just last a little while. 

An' 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. 

Instrumental break.

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, 

But those every now an' thens just last a little while. 

An' 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.
