once in a moon

Sarah Kang

For the first time I would like my name

Just because of the way you say it

And I would memorize every line and hair

To remember when you aren't there

We would walk along a tree-lined street

With a breeze dancing at our feet

And we would sing a song in harmony

If only you hadn't left me

So I'll think of you once in a moon

When I hear your favorite tune

And someday after a year or two

Maybe then I won't be loving you

I'll think of you once in a moon

When I see someone who looks like you

And someday after a year or two

Maybe then I'll still be loving you

We would say goodbye just to say hello again

And we would get in fights just to get over them

We would be alright

even if things don't stay the same

If only you had stayed

So I'll think of you once in a moon

When I hear your favorite tune

And someday after a year or two

Maybe then I won't be loving you

I'll think of you once in a moon

When I see someone who looks like you

And someday after a year or two

Maybe then I'll still be loving you

What if I had bit my tongue

What if what we had was enough

I guess all my calculations were off

When I thought I would get over you

It doesn't make sense

But I'd do it all again

I'll think of you once in a moon

When I hear your favorite tune

And someday after a year or two

Maybe then I won't be loving you

I'll think of you once in a moon

When I see someone who looks like you

And someday after a year or two

Maybe then I'll still be loving you
