When your heart is saddened

I'll never forget

I'll never forget ...the day we met
that very moment, I first saw you!!
I'll never forget... the things you said
the words unspoken, how your lips moved!!

I'll never forget...the things you do
those tender moments, so precious and few.
I'll never forget the life we had,
How we were happy, before it all went bad.

Bridge
I'll never forget you- you brought me to life
How could I forget you-how did our love die?

Chorus
Let me be the one-you think about,
whenever you are alone,
Those few times- when you may regret
letting your heart roam
On those nights when you feel scared,
and so abandoned.
Maybe then, you'll think of me,
when your heart is saddened

I'll never forget... the day you left,
The sun was shining, but, somehow it felt cold.
I'll never forget... the love we made,
cause only the memories, are what remain.

Bridge
I'll never forget you- you brought me to life
How could I forget you-how did our love die?

Chorus
Let me be the one-you think about,
whenever you are alone,
Those few times- when you may regret
letting your heart roam
On those nights when you feel scared,
and so abandoned.
Maybe then, you'll think of me,
when your heart is saddened

Bridge
I'll never forget you- you brought me to life
How could I forget you-how did our love die?

Chorus
Let me be the one-you think about,
whenever you are alone,
Those few times- when you may regret
letting your heart roam
On those nights when you feel scared,
and so abandoned.
Maybe then, you'll think of me,
when your heart is saddened
