[Verse 1]
I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream
Well I was so scared and so in love then
And so lost in all of you that I had seen
But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires
But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sign
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined
[Chorus]
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
[Verse 2]
I remember how you left in the morning at daybreak
Mmm. so silent you stole from my bed
To go back to the one who possesses your soul
And I back to the life that I dread
So I ran like the wind to the water
Please don't leave me again I cried
And I threw bitter tears at the ocean
But all that came back was the tide
[Chorus]
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
Oh
I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream
Well I was so scared and so in love then
And so lost in all of you that I had seen
But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires
But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sign
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined
[Chorus]
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
[Verse 2]
I remember how you left in the morning at daybreak
Mmm. so silent you stole from my bed
To go back to the one who possesses your soul
And I back to the life that I dread
So I ran like the wind to the water
Please don't leave me again I cried
And I threw bitter tears at the ocean
But all that came back was the tide
[Chorus]
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
Oh
I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
