Lyrics
I woke up last night to the sound of your laugh
And I realized it was a dream
I couldn't sleep and the memories steeped
My heart broke all over again
Though it's been a long time you're still on my mind
more often than I'd care to recall
we've both moved on and I'm trying to be strong
but I still think about you once in a while
refrain:
Once in a while I see your smile
On the face of someone in a crowd
I'm haunted by dreams of what might have been
And I still think about you once in a while
The night that we parted
You were in his arms and
You left me standing in the aisle
but we ate the wedding supper anyway
and I think about you once in a while
I can't believe I let you get away
I haven't seen you since the trial
Now I'm stuck in this hole until I make parole
And I think about you once in a while
