How Can You Forget? 1938 JPitt-Payne

I know I should forget her,
Imagine that I never met her.
Those things can never last,
you can't bring back the past.
I know I should forget her
imagine that I've never met her.
There's lots of fish in the brine,
just look around and cast your line.

How can you forget
when you lie awake
and dream at night?
How can you forget
when your heart
has a mosquito bite.
When the drops of rain that fall
say: "Pet 'er, pet 'er, once again!"
"Don't let 'er, let, er, leave you,"
says the postman then.
How can you forget
ring 'er, ring 'er
ring 'er says the 'phone,
you can win her yet
bring 'er, bring 'er
bring 'er back alone."
Fish were meant to fry
and you're in the net
till the day you die, lover
How can you forget?

How can you forget
when you lie awake
and dream at night?
How can you forget
when your heart
has a mosquito bite.
When the drops of rain that fall
say: "Pet 'er, pet 'er, once again!"
"Don't let 'er, let, er, leave you,"
says the postman then.
How can you forget
ring 'er, ring 'er
ring 'er says the 'phone,
you can win her yet
bring 'er, bring 'er
bring 'er back alone."
Fish were meant to fry
and you're in the net
till the day you die, lover
How can you forget?
