Lest We Forget

Lest we forget,

Your dates as a younger man

Like how when you were nine,

You fell in love

Because she was the first girl

You'd seen throw a cricket ball

You knew that you'd be together

For the rest of your lives

Now you sit alone in the sun,

In the backyard, feeding the birds

Reading the newspaper

Thinking about the love that

You shouldn't have lost

Love that you lost,

love that you shouldn't have,

Love that you lost,

love that you shouldn't have,

Love that you lost,

love that you shouldn't have lost

When I was a child,

I didn't see her much

She passed away before I was five

I was so young

That it barely affected my life

Then one day when I asked

You told me she was magnificent

All that I had was

Your word and a photograph

But that look in your eyes told me

All that I needed to know

Love that you lost,

Love that you shouldn't have,

Love that you lost,

Love that you shouldn't have,

Love that you lost,

Love that you shouldn't have lost

Love that you lost,

Love that you shouldn't have,

Love that you lost,

Love that you shouldn't have,

Love that we lost,

Love that you shouldn't have lost.
