Lyrics
Verse 1
They see me out and ask me how I’ve been
If I’m sleepin’ good, if I still miss her
Since we laid her down out by the church
I just say, “Once in a while”
Verse 2
They ask if I still keep her things around
If I still talk to her when it’s quiet
If I go see her name in stone
I just say, “Once in a while”
Chorus
Once in a while, I’m doin’ okay
Once in a while, I get through the day
Once in a while, I don’t feel the hurt
Like I do most of the time
They think I mean it comes and goes
But they don’t really know
It’s the other way around…
I’m alright once in a while
Verse 3
They ask if I’ve thought ‘bout movin’ on
Findin’ someone, lettin’ go of her
I just look down and shake my head
“Once in a while”
Final Chorus (Twist)
Once in a while, I laugh again
Once in a while, I feel like him
The man I was before that day
Shows up every now and then
They think I mean I miss her some
Like it ain’t always there
But the truth is, I don’t…
Only don’t miss her once in a while
