How Can I Forget 1917

When the moon bids me rise,
and I open my eyes,
I begin with a sweet thought of you,
then the rest of the day
while at work or at play,
I'm thinking, just thinking of you.

How can I forget,
when there's so much to remember,
your smiling face,
your fond embrace,
your voice so sweet and tender,
after all these years
I'm afraid I love you yet,
when there's so much to remember,
how can I forget,
how can I forget.

How can I forget,
when there's so much to remember,
your smiling face,
your fond embrace,
your voice so sweet and tender,
after all these years
I'm afraid I love you yet,
when there's so much to remember,
how can I forget,
how can I forget.

Through the heartbreaking years,
I have smiled through my tears,
to have met you is well worth the pain,
though we drifted apart,
you'll remain in my heart,
as long as my heart will remain.

How can I forget,
when there's so much to remember,
your smiling face,
your fond embrace,
your voice so sweet and tender,
after all these years
I'm afraid I love you yet,
when there's so much to remember,
how can I forget,
how can I forget.

How can I forget,
when there's so much to remember,
your smiling face,
your fond embrace,
your voice so sweet and tender,
after all these years
I'm afraid I love you yet,
when there's so much to remember,
how can I forget,
how can I forget.
