forget

Nina Simone

Forget the love not chosen
Forget the pain unspoken
And please forget the dreams that were broken
But remember me

Forget this shade when night falls
Forget the fear that droops? off
And please forget the fights in these four walls
But remember me

I'm the one who always loved the simple things about you
Your quiet gestures and your grace
And I'm the one who cherished every touch from you
And I'm the one who loved the beauty in your changing face
Your changing face

Forget the harm I caused you
Forget the times I crossed you
And other things I did when I lost you
But remember me when you forget
But remember me when you forget
