Lest We Foret

Lest we forget
your days as a younger man
Like how when you were nine
You fell in love because she was the first girl you'd seen throw a cricket ball
You knew that you'd be together for the rest of your lives

Now you sit alone in the sun in the backyard
Feeding the birds, reading the newspaper
Thinking about the love that you shouldn't have lost
Love that you lost
Love that you shoudn't have
Love taht you lost
Love that you shouldn't have
Love that you shouldn't have lost

When I was a child
I didn't see her much
She passed away before I was five
I was so young that it barly affected my life
Then one day when I asked,
you told me "she was magnificent"
All that I had was your word and a photograph
But one look in your eyes told me all that I needed to know
Love that you lost
Love that you shoudn't have
Love that you lost
Love that you shouldn't have
Love that you shouldn't have lost

Love that you lost
Love that yous houldn't have
Love that you lost
Love that you shouldn't have
Love that we lost
Love that we shouldn't have lost
