Willie Nelson - A Moment Isn't Very Long Lyrics






Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town,
I forgot to remember that you'd gone.
For a moment, I found myself smilin',
But a moment isn't very long.

An' last night as I danced with a stranger,
An' she held her cheek close to my own,
For a moment, I almost forgot you,
But a moment isn't very long.

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.

[Instrumental]

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.

Willie Nelson A Moment Isn't Very Long Comments
  1. C.... ....

    willie Nelson is for us the moon of contry and the sun of traditional American music

  2. C.... S....

    Wow what lyrics

  3. B.... O....

    I can’t believe that I’m hearing a song of Willies I hadn’t heard before! The Hag and Willie have always been favs of mine. I miss Merle so much, thank goodness we still have Willie and of course videos and music! ❤️ thanks for sharing!

  4. G.... D....

    When Willie's was turning corn into diesel and if you've got a lot of them old hogs to feed, I got a little put out with him. When he's endorsing jerks, like Beto O'Rourke, I got even more put out with him and thought senility was setting in? When he's writing songs, picking that old wore out Martin Guitar, and singing them songs, I'm back in his fan box. I've always loved Willie. He was always at the head of the pack.

  5. G.... B....

    I've been listening to Willie for 50 years now, thank you Willie for this song and the last 50 years of your music, love ya man

  6. j.... m....

    I will love Willie forever

  7. T.... H....

    Johnny Bush had a pretty good version of this song.

  19. P.... H....

    Oh my word I just found out about this album. I thought I had heard all of them. I am so pleasantly surprised. I got to listen to it asap. Music will last until the end of time!!! But what do I know? I've been a Willie Nelson fan since 1973.

  20. P.... H....

    By accident I saw him play blue eyes crying in the rain in 1973 and I captured his talent. I'm so glad I did. He was always on my mind to this day. I even bought a classical 🎸 guitar 5 years later.

  21. R.... R....

    Willie and I are the same age. I`ve been a fan of his as long as I can remember. He`s one of my heroes.
