An' she held her cheek close to my own, 一个“她拉着她的脸颊贴近我自己，

For a moment, I almost forgot you, 有那么一刻，我几乎忘了你，

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, 现在每一个然后我得到一个机会，微笑，

But those every now an' thens just last a little while. 但这些现在每一个“ thens刚刚过去的一小会儿。

An' tonight I've got a date with a new love, 在“今晚我有个约会新欢，

But I know I'd do just as well at home. 但我知道我做的一样好，在家里。

For a moment, maybe I could forget you. 一时间，也许我可以忘记你。
