he will walk into the room
and look at me
and i’ll melt away
he will smile his little smile
and he will see
how i melt away
but all the while
she’ll be there
and i can’t get
him to forget her
she’ll be there
and i can’t get
him to forget her
the love he lost long ago
he will take me in his arms
and in his arms
i will melt away
he will press his lips to mine
let him be mine
i will softly pray
and all the while
she’ll be there
and i can’t get
him to forget her
she’ll be there
and i can’t get
him to forget her
the love he once used to know
why couldn’t i have
been first in his life
how happy we two could be
why must there be
such a thirst in his life
for a memory instead of me
but i love him
oh so much so very much
i can’t let him go
so i’ll take the love he gives
what love he gives
but i’ll always know
deep in his heart
she’ll be there
and i can’t get
him to forget her
she’ll be there
and he never will forget her
she’ll be there
and i can’t get
him to forget her
