I never really thought wed 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 cant 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! Im still single but happy To be free, unattached and between you and me Better that than illmatched, though at times I feel lonely But enough about me, lets 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? Its ended Do your parents regret? Thats not what they intended No, I could never forget Who could have ever known, without a single word That wed come face to face? Thered not been any reason I thought all things must die, as a time or a season No, I could never forget I dont know what to say, its 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, youd receive lifes full measure And he said with a smile, Im 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 Ill 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 theres youth, it is springtime forever No, no I could never forget, never forget Its strange, the warmth I feel in these moments together Weve 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, Ill ask, if I may, if youd like me to stay? If this time we can share what the past was concealing If youre lonely and care, if you have the same feeling If youre remembering yet All the things I could never forget
forget, never, could, youth, season
