A moment isn’t very long    (sample)

 

    D - A7 - D

 

                 D        D7                   A

1. Yesterday as I talked with a friend in town

                          A7                           D

    I forgot to remember that you're gone.

                              D7                    G

    For a moment I found myself smiling,

          - D                    - A                 D

    but        a moment        isn't very long.

 

             D                   D7                     A

2. And last night as I danced with a stranger,

                                    A7                       D

    and she held her cheek close to my own.

                              D7            G

    For a moment I almost forgot you,

          - D                    - A                  D

    but        a moment        isn't very long.

 

      D                      D7                A

3. Every now and then I get a chance to smile

                                              A7                 - D

    but those every now and thens just last         a little while.

                                        D7              A

    And tonight I've got a date with a new love,

                                A7                   D

    but I know I'd do just as well at home.

                                      D7              G

    For a moment maybe I could forget you,

                D         - A                   D

    but a moment         isn't very long.

 

+ D - A7 - D      + repeat verse 3
