"For a While" — from Watertown (1970). The temporary comfort that won't last.
Lost in day to day
Turn another way
With a laugh
A kind hello
Some small talk
With those I know
I forget
That Im 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
Ive got to do
I forget
That Im not over you
For a while
Days go by
With no empty feeling
Until i
Remember youre gone
People say to me
You need company
When you have
Some time to spend
Drop around
And meet a friend
They forget
That Im not over you
For a while
They forget
That Im not over you
For a while...

- From Watertown (1970). The concept album's narrator finding brief relief in ordinary life while waiting for his absent wife. Gaudio and Holmes created a complete world in these songs — specific, sad, utterly unlike anything else in the Sinatra catalogue.
