Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- We’ve lived, and have loved and we’ve parted
There’s one thing I’ve said I regret
Though I have cared, I’ve often declared
I could forget
I love you to this day
And just this much I’ll say
Chorus
Forgive me, for I can’t forget I love you
I know I do now as I see your face
Although sent away, like a child to play
No one that I’ve ever known
Can claim your place
I still feel your kiss, the hours of bliss
Those beautiful dreams are with me yet
Dearest girl Heaven sent
Can you know what you’ve meant?
Forgive me for I can’t forget
- To me this drear world is deserted
The joy that was once mine is gone
Lonesome and blue, I’m longing for you
I’m so forlorn
The days have seemed like years
My heart holds naught but tears
