For a While - Nina Simone

Lost in day to day
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
Some small talk with those I know
I forget that I'm not over you
For a while

A wave an easy grin
A smile to put them in
With other lives to listen to
And some work I've got to do
I forget that I'm not over you
For a while

Days go by with no empty feeling
Until I remember you're gone

People say to me, you need company
When you have some time to spend
Drop around and meet a friend
They forget that I'm not over you
For a while
They forget that I'm not over you
For a while
