[Verse 1]
Another day the city saved us
It gave your heart a place to hide
If all we're counting on is here today and gone tomorrow
I wanna make believe that you remember me

[Chorus]
I, I won't forget you
Even if you let me go
I won't regret you
'Cause I'm the lucky one
I, I won't forget you
Even if you let me go
I won't regret you
'Cause I'm the lucky one

[Verse 2]
Sometimes our dreams, they will escape us
But we're not sleeping anymore
If all we are is lost, I'll keep you in a memory
And when you close your eyes, you will remember me

[Chorus]
I, I won't forget you
Even if you let me go
I won't regret you
'Cause I'm the lucky one
I, I won't forget you
Even if you let me go
I won't regret you
'Cause I'm the lucky one

[Bridge]
You climb so high, you fall too fast
You burn so bright, it just can't last
Doesn't mean so much
No I won't forget
So please, remember me

[Chorus]
I, I won't forget you
Even if you let me go
I won't regret you
'Cause I'm the lucky one
I, I won't forget you
Even if you let me go
I won't regret you
'Cause I'm the lucky one

[Outro]
'Cause I'm the lucky one
I, I won't forget you

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
