Classic Poem

VERSE 1

Why can't I forget like I should?
Heaven knows I would if I could
But I just can't keep you off my mind.
Though you're gone and love was in vain,
All around me you still remain.
Wonder why fate should be so unkind.

REFRAIN

Waking skies
At sunrise,
Ev'ry sunset, too,
Seems to be
Bringing me
Memories of you.
Here and there,
Ev'rywhere,
Scenes that we once knew,
And they all
Just recall
Memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those
Happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears.
Your face beams
In my dreams,
'Spite of all I do,
Ev'rything
Seems to bring
Memories of you.

VERSE 2

Though for years we've been apart,
Time heals ev'rything but my heart
That still aches for you the same old way.
Seems I can't escape from the past,
And your spell keeps holding me fast,
Each tomorrow is like yesterday.

REPEAT REFRAIN
