Well, I can’t remember
The look on your face
When you said you were leaving
And going someplace.
No, I can’t remember
The sound of your voice
As you whispered “I’m sorry”
Through your tears,
And I can’t remember
The way that you held me.
I guess it’s been too many years.
Well, I can’t remember
The way that I felt
Or how when you smiled
It made my heart melt.
No, I can’t remember
The pain in my heart
When you told me
It’s time you should go,
And I can’t remember
The nights I spent crying.
I guess it was too long ago.
