Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 20
I NEVER CAN FORGET YOU.
Copyright, 1887, by Geo. D. Newhall Co.
By Will S. Hays.
We met as strangers, parted friends, where balmy breezes kissed the flowers.
And, oh, it seemed two happier hearts ne'er formed a friendship such as ours;
And it has almost warmed to love, the ties of pleasure had to sever.
But, ah, one thought will live with me, I never can forget you, never.
Chorus.
No matter where in life I roam, there's naught on earth but death can sever
The lies that made us friends for life, I never can forget you, never.
Though I should wander far away and live for years in foreign places.
Ah, do not think that-I'll forget the fairest, sweetest of all faces;
No! no! if I should bid farewell to home, to you and friends forever.
And never see your face again, I never can forget you, never.--Chorus.
I never can forget your face, your eyes so full of beauty beaming.
Your gentle voice so soft and sweet, I think of you awake or dreaming;
To love you and to think of you through life shall be my fond endeavor.
And though we may not meet again, I'll not forget you, never.- Chorus.
