Original lyrics

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



This is a track from the 1970 Frank Sinatra's album Watertown, considered his most unconventional one.
Composed by Bob Gaudio (music) and Jack Holmes (lyrics) Watertown (subtitle "A love story") is a concept album about "the disintegration of the traditional nuclear family".
"In a series of soliloquies, the nameless narrator tells us his heartbreaking story of personal loss and unrealized redempion. His wife has left him and their two boys for the lure of the big city, and her absence hangs palpably in the air." (from the liner notes of the CD issue).

As far as "For a While" concerned, the 3rd of the 10 tracks of the album (11 on the CD), says Jack Holmes: "I've always felt that there is that moment in your life, when you forget about someting that is really terrible. For five minutes the sun is shining and everything is beautiful. Then all of a sudden you realize that the person you cared about is gone, and it all comes back. It is one of those horrible things about grief -- one of those little holes in grief when it becomes even more painful."

Watertown was originally published in 1970 as LP Reprise. Reissued in 1995 as CD Reprise 9362-45689-2.
