Oh my heart won’t believe that you have left meI keep telling my self that it’s trueI can get over anything you want my loveBut I can’t get myself over youDon’t forget to remember meAnd the love that used to be I still remember youI love youIn my heart lies a memory to tell the stars aboveDon’t forget to remember me my loveOn my wall lies a photograph of you girlThough I try to forget you somehowYou’re the mirror of my soul so take me out of my holeLet me try to go on living right nowDon’t forget to remember meAnd the love that used to beI still remember youI love youIn my heart lies a memory to tell the stars aboveDon’t forget to remember me my love
