When I’m alone with her,
She always treats me kind.
She always does the best she can
To keep you off my mind.
Although I don’t love her
As much as I love you,
She keeps on waiting patiently
Until the day I do.
I wish there was some way
To keep you off my mind,
And maybe ease you from my memory.
She’s always there to help
Me through my painful times,
When thoughts of you keep coming back to me.
Perhaps someday I’ll learn
To show I love her too.
I hope she’ll keep on helping me
‘Til then to forget you.
