You say that I can be your friend
Forget my love for you
You say there's nothing left for me
To find somebody new
You tell me to forget the things
That's in the past and gone
You just as well to tell the sun
To rise before it's dawn
Cause I can't forget you oh how I've tried
You take a bird and clip its wings
And it will fly no more
But you can't make that bird forget
That it once flew before
Like I can't forget you oh how I've tried
You're gonna wake some morning
And find your world gone wrong
You're gonna wish for the happiness
That only we have known
You will be crying
Tears of regret
You're gonna remember the love sweetheart
You told me to forget
But I didn't forget you oh how I've tried
