Oh

Oh is an interjection with many uses, often said by people realizing something (e.g. Oh, I just realized that I must be going!). The archaic form O (always capitalized) is still used in older literary and musical works (e.g. "O Holy Night"), or occasionally in modern works to convey a sense of antiquity or nostalgia (e.g. O Brother, Where Art Thou?).
