Please Don't Forget

I want to tell you just how much I love you

and beg you not to go away

but I can't 'cause it isn't your choice

If it were, I know that you'd stay

I want to tell you how much you mean to me

You are my baby, and you always will be

I wish things could have taken a different turn

I don't want to see an end to us

but I'm beginning to learn that the choice isn't ours

This pain that I feel is just the start

I've only lost a tiny piece of my heart

though it seems like I've lost it all

What I've gone through so far was just a fall

I can hardly wait for this to be over

but it has only begun

I anticipate finding that four-leaf clover

So it can tell me I'm a lucky one

When I'm feeling down I look up into the yellow blinding light

It's warmth and smiles reassure me

that things are going to be alright.

Sweetheart, just remember -

though we'll be miles apart

You can look up at the sun

and know that it's the same one

that I look at too

My heart and my love will be in those rays

shining down on you

Every day – it never fails –

the sun shall always rise

Look into my eyes and know

that my love - through those rays – will show

and dry up your tears

It won't matter how many years go by

because time won't stop the sun from shining

Clouds can hide it

Storms can disguise it

but still you'll always know it's there

So please

look up at that beautiful star

and remember how much I care.
