Simone, Nina - For A While Lyrics
Lost in day to day,
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
And some small talk with friends I know
I forget that I'm not over you for a while.
A wave, an easy grin,
A smile to put them in,
Got other lives to listen to
And some music that I have to do
I forget that I'm not over you for a while.
Days go by with no empty feeling,
Until I touch my hair and touch my skin
And remember you're gone.
When you have some time to spend,
Drop around-you need your friends."
They forget that I'm not over you for a while,
They forget that I'm not over you for a while.

Simone, Nina For A While Comments
When she came back in with “If You Knew” , I just knew she was about to burst into tears ! Such a strong woman who bares all ♥️
she sings as if each word and note has to happen - and at a cost. She is right in the still vortex of the song. She sings as if it needs to be sung. She's not performing - she bears witness to it. In her mind the audience happens to be there - if they get what she's doing all the better but that's not why she's doing it. She needs to.
grande interprete !
crying, crying, crying, crying
This. Moves. Me. Every. Single. Time. This reminds me to never forget to love. In all that you do, never forget to take that chance and love someone!
I have listened to this song countless times. I feel her pain every time.
What does she see at 0.57 to 0.59 that makes her have to shake it off?
Nothing. She was just feelin the song. Excuse my english.
It seemed to be more than that. She displays a look of dismay. Then she breathes deeply as if to get herself back together. We really shall never know but thanks for your opinion.
I’m glad Nina saw the beauty in Sinatra’s Watertown LP, underrated classic. She does a beautiful job interpreting a truly touching song..
You can tell she struggled to get through these two songs. SO EMOTIONAL. They kill each time I heard them even years later.
I come here when I need to cry. Love you, Nina.
Oh Nina I cry every time I hear this song . makes me say ,is this all there is.
Nina you make me cry every time I LISTEN to this song love ya RIP
Amazing NINA love you always
This song describes a deep and dark hurt that once left me numb and drained. Salute Ms Nina Simone!
i never and i will never hear a song that had so much pain.. a real pain
This song reminds me to still love, take that chance, embrace it. Nina takes me to a place I rarely visit!
tieftraurig, mit einem part von hoffnung. Nina......just Nina. in einer art und weise nicht ersetzbar.
She really emits the pain & sorrow in these torch songs, comparable to singing your diary to an audience... :-(
bared her soul in its entirety.
If that ain't the best thing I've ever heard then I don't know what is.
i love Nina Simone. no other artist i know of can express love and loss as convincingly and beautifully. thanks for sharing this video.
One of the only other artists who possesses the same type of natural ability to imbue any song with that soul aching tragic beauty is Jeff Buckley.
In fact, he was a HUGE Nina fan and is(imo) the only one who has ever performed one of her songs I've found impressive, making it is own, and every beautiful note of every word has that agonizing vulnerable pain.
Check him out if you aren't familiar with him, well when you have a chance; I'm more than certain, that you'll be happy you did. 🤩
Oh yes...it's so hard to get over this latest loss. Nina expresses my sorrow in a deep and meaningful way. I trust and hope that you're doing well on the other side, my dear friend!
Eish Nina you making my heart hurt... It's really tuff to be a songwriter
strenght and delicacy, what an artist, love her, thanks
She can capture the most inexplicable feelings in her songs- this woman is so amazing, so blessed, and unfortunately her pain becomes such a gift to us.
I've tried to write a comment but I am without words. I have the 'Live at Ronnie Scott's' DVD and have heard this countless times and the effect on me is always the same.
Thanks for posting!
