Forgetting You
Darling forgetting you is
not something I can do
To love forever
is the vow we made
Sealed in my heart is
a love that never fades
Don’t know why you strayed
Why you went away
Sweetheart I love you
with a passion that burns
Forgetting you is
not something I can do
Turn back the hands on the clock
Reverse the sun dial’s swing
Please baby please
Let’s fall in love all over again
