Lyrics
Romance seemed to beckon the first time we met
Together we strolled ‘neath the moon
‘Twas sweet while it lasted and I’ve no regret
Although it was over too soon
Chorus
Just a little while ’twas so divine
To see the sun come out and shine
When I was yours and you were mine
Just a little while
Just a little while the moments passed
And soon my heart was beating fast
About a love I knew would last
Just a little while
Now that we’re apart guess I’d better start
Patching up my heart with a smile
But I never knew that happy day
A broken heart would have to pay
For dreams of love that came to stay
Just a little while
