Lyrics
The night that you me me
You went on and let me
Believe that you’d want me to care
I could not doubt you
For something about you
Seemed fair and square
Your love voice was calling
I felt myself falling
I though I knew you
So gave myself to you there
But now I’ve lost your heart somehow
Burthen
Try to forget, won’t you?
All you have meant to me
And all I’ve meant to you, too
I’m sending back to you
The things you sent to me
Your day dreams, your gay dreams
Your glad dreams, your mad dreams
Yet don’t forget, will you?
That mem’ries haunt me too
Here’s what they want me to do
To go on just doing my best to forget
So, I’ll be remembering you
