(henry paul/van stephenson/dave robbins)

When the moon is bright
On a saturday night
There's a thousand stars in the sky
On a winding road her memory flows
She'll face the fact
She wants to go back

Chrous:
She opens her heart to an old memory
She closes her eyes and she smiles
Just ask her if she ever still
Thinks about me
She'll say "every once in a while,
Every once in a while"

She tries to forget
But she hasn't yet
Not a single day goes by
That feeling again reminds of when
I held her tight, it felt so right

Repeat chorus

And every once in a while
She calls my name out loud
And when she thinks about us
She'll face the fact
She wants to go back

Repeat chorus
