Lyrics:
“Every Now And Then”
The love you thought was dead and goneSomehow keeps on hanging onEven when your heart has left it far behindJust when you have turned the pageIt seems to find a wayThere it is againEvery now and then[Chorus]And every now and then that old feeling comes aroundEvery now and then I see your face in another cloudAnd every now and then some old something takes me right back againEvery now and thenYou can finally breathe life inWithout wondering where she’s beenGo to sleep at night without her on your mindIn a second it appearsFollowed by familiar tearsLike a long lost friendEvery now and then[Chorus]And I know it’s all for nothingThere’s no going back to way back then[Chorus]I still love youEvery now and then
