I Don't Want You to Forget

The touch of lips the close of eyes

They matter more than you surmise

I hide it all in secret boxes

Until tomorrow when we first meet

I watch you fade before my eyes

I can’t take it, but I won’t look away

Maybe the fires that feel so cold,

They won’t completely die away

I don’t want to, I don’t want you

I don’t want you to forget

I don’t want to, I don’t want you

I don’t want you to forget

I may not let you see my pain

I may not speak hard words in anger

To you maybe it isn’t really strange

You being loved by a stranger

I won’t give you up just yet

I will come calling at your door

Ours is a home we can’t get to anymore

I don’t want to, I don’t want you

I don’t want you to forget

I don’t want to, I don’t want you

I don’t want you to forget

Behind your eyes there is a distance

I ask you if you’d like to dance

You mistake me for a healer

I’m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
