How Can You Forget 1912

Can it be that you forget?
Dead to you the past?
Well I knew my dream of love,
Far too sweet to last;
Tho' my heart be sad and sore,
I would bear the pain,
just to feel the joy of yore
in my heart again.

Can you forget those sweet days of yore?
Ah! love, can it be you forget?
Often in dreams I love them all o'er,
sweet mem'ries of you haunt me yet,
Ah! I can't forget the rapture and bliss,
I loved you the moment we met,
I can't forget that first long sweet kiss,
Ah! Love, how can you forget?

Tho' we wander far apart
through the sunless years.
One great joy shall fill my heart,
Tho' my eyes shed tears,
Gone the past beyond recall,
With its joy and pain,
I would give the world and all
just to dream again.

Can you forget those sweet days of yore?
Ah! love, can it be you forget?
Often in dreams I love them all o'er,
sweet mem'ries of you haunt me yet,
Ah! I can't forget the rapture and bliss,
I loved you the moment we met,
I can't forget that first long sweet kiss,
Ah! Love, how can you forget?
