Don't Forget Me

Don’t forget me everybody says At a certain age when everything is moving so fast Don’t forget me every girl has said And I’ll remember each and every one until I’m dead Don’t forget me as the soul’s diminishing the body’s need to live Remembering the wish to sing and hopeful of what morning brings to life Not me Don’t forget me, those other boys forgot But I’m the one who did their bidding every time and did not To be forgotten is the most frightening thought For all those boys and girls and other friends whom time forgot Don’t forget me as the soul’s diminishing the body’s need for love Remembering the wish to sing and hopeful of what morning brings to us Not me, not me, not me Don’t forget me are the words she’d say When we were young and on the beach and all drenched in spray But when moon rose the sunburn still burned raw Cause through all the years there’s really only one I saw And don’t forget me is the whispered wish that travels my lips to your ears Five at fifteen is forever to remember the intervening years Not me (don’t forget me)
