Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- When the morn bids me rise
And I open my eyes
I begin with a sweet thought of you
Then the rest of the day
While at work or at play
I’m thinking, just thinking of you
Chorus:
How can I forget
When there’s so much to remember?
Your smiling face, your fond embrace
Your voice so sweet and tender
After all these years
I’m afraid I love you yet
When there’s so much to remember
How can I forget? How can I forget?
- Through the heart-breaking years
I have smiled through my tears
To have met you is well worth the pain
Though we’ve drifted apart
You’ll remain in my heart
As long as my heart will remain
