|
I never really thought we'd ever meet again |
|
But fate deals out the hands, we must take what its chosen |
|
When in an idle glance you appeared, time was frozen |
|
No, I could never forget |
|
I look upon your face, I can't believe my eyes |
|
Passing times often cruel, it fades youth like a flower |
|
But you have never changed, where the years but an hour? |
|
No, I could never forget, never forget |
|
Married, me? Heavens no! I'm still single but happy |
|
To be free, unattached and between you and me |
|
Better that than ill-matched, though at times I feel lonely |
|
But enough about me, let's drink to you and life |
|
How have you been, all these years? Are you happy and well? |
|
No? I guess I could tell, and your marriage? It's ended |
|
Do your parents regret? That's not what they intended |
|
No, I could never forget |
|
Who could have ever known, without a single word |
|
That we'd come face to face? There'd not been any reason |
|
I thought all things must die, as a time or a season |
|
No, I could never forget |
|
I don't know what to say, it's like some crazy dream |
|
The way the past returns, all my memories unbroken |
|
Yes, I remember too every word that was spoken |
|
No, I could never forget, never forget |
|
Youth, a foolish age, we thought love was our treasure |
|
But your father said no, you would marry someone |
|
With position and name, you'd receive life's full measure |
|
And he said with a smile, I'm sure you understand? |
|
So, with love in our eyes, we exchanged last goodbyes |
|
But your father was shrewd, all my unanswered letters |
|
Forced me soon to conclude things had worked for the better |
|
No, I could never forget |
|
The hour is getting late, this place is closing down |
|
Come, yes come I'll walk you home |
|
Through the streets, dark and empty |
|
Like in our foolish days of kisses stolen nightly |
|
No, I could never forget |
|
Each season was for us, a season for our love |
|
And we were not afraid as autumn turned to winter |
|
As long as there's youth, it is springtime forever |
|
No, no I could never forget, never forget |
|
It's strange, the warmth I feel in these moments together |
|
We've recaptured the time in the midst of our youth |
|
When two hearts were in line and were light as a feather |
|
But we both know the truth, we must live for today |
|
So, I'll ask, if I may, if you'd like me to stay? |
|
If this time we can share what the past was concealing |
|
If you're lonely and care, if you have the same feeling |
|
If you're remembering yet |
|
All the things I could never forget |
