Michelle Billingsley - Once in a While Lyrics

I wonder what you look like in the sunshine
I only know you with shadows 'cross your face
The moon and me explore our victories
In the thin hours that you stay
Nothing past your lips looked like a promise
I could not tease an answer from those shoulder blades
Still I'll take what is offered
But I'm not one to need the whole day
I'll be your once in a while, babe
Just for so long, babe
Gone by the morning's first light
Got to be getting on
One side of an album, babe
No time for breakfast, babe
I'll be your once in a while
I'm pretty bad at explaining this to others
Like describing highways they've never seen
Still you think that I'd be better
With all those words you leave behind like weeds
I'll be your once in a while, babe
Just for so long, babe
Gone by the morning's first light
Got to be getting on
One side of an album, babe
No time for breakfast, babe
I'll be your once in a while
I'm back to washing just one cup and plate
A bottle of wine now lasts me for days
Back to the middle of the bed
Sleeping in late again
Listening for your key
I'll be your once in a while, babe
Just for so long, babe
Gone by the morning's first light
Got to be getting on
One side of an album, babe
No time for breakfast, babe
Even so (Even so) I'll be fine
Even so (Even so) I'll be around
I'll be your once in a while
I'll be your once in a while
