Jim Redgewell Music: Forgotten to Forget

FORGOTTEN TO FORGET

Sitting at a table set for one, I see the moon without the sun

All alone because my love has gone

But my memory keeps going on and on

For I'd forgotten to forget her, and it made me realise

And then as I remembered, the tears came to my eyes

For I'd forgotten to forget, that she had passed away

Oh memory please go away, let me forget about yesterday

I see couples in the candle glow, it takes me back a week ago

To the days when I knew happiness

With her lovely smile, her warm and sweet caress

Give me a memory to cling to

Give me a song that I can sing to

And while the music keeps on playing

I’ll sit alone and think of her

Just before the early morning dew

There came a policeman dressed in blue

There has been a fatal accident

And I have very bad news to tell to you

For I'd forgotten to forget her, and it made me realise

And then as I remembered, the tears came to my eyes

For I'd forgotten to forget, that she had passed away

Oh memory please go away, let me forget about yesterday

Rest in peace my darling, rest in peace my wife

Your memory will always be with me

Until the end of my life
