Sarah McLachlan Lyrics

Album: Freed

I Will Not Forget You Lyrics

I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping

 Your body gripped by some far away dream

 Well I was so scared and so in love then

 And so lost in all of you that I had seen

 But no one ever talked in the darkness

 No voice ever added fuel to the fire

 No light ever shone in the doorway

 Deep in the hollow of earthly desires

 But if in some dream there was brightness

 If in some memory some sort of sign

 And flesh be revived in the shadows

 Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined

 

 [CHORUS]

 

 And I will oh I will not forget you

 Nor will I ever let you go

 I will oh I will not forget you

 

 I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak

 So silent you stole from my bed

 To go back to the one who possesses your soul

 And I back to the life that I dread.

 So I ran like the wind to the water

 Please don't leave me again I cried

 And I threw bitter tears at the ocean

 But all that came back was the tide...

 

 [CHORUS]
