Usually when that happens it is the beginning of more problems. It might be just a bad thermistor, or the burner, or just crap that needs to be cleaned. If it happens again soon, get ready to spend some money on it, or live without hot water.
When I bought me first house long ago, on the day of the signing, the water heater started leaking. They put it in writing that the seller would replace the water heater. I got lucky by one day. He hired Sears to replace it. I moved into the house, and woke up to take my first shower, and the dang water was cold. I went and lit the water heater, and waited. Took a shower and all was fine. The next day, it was out again. Lotsa cussing did not fix it. I called Sears and they came out and looked at it, and the pilot had gone out already. So he re-lit it and said that fixed it. I told him that will not be enough. Sure enough I looked a few hours later, it was off. Same guy came out, and replaced the themistor. That solved the problem, it was defective from the factory.
