« I Forgot Your Name »

Refrain
I forgot your name,
But not the fire of that night,
Your gaze, your sweet surrender’s flame,
Still dances in the fading light.

I forgot your name,
But not the warmth of your smile,
Your ghost still walks this house again,
And stays with me a little while.

Pont
I forgot your name,
But your face still finds its way,
Like an old song soft and plain,
That trembles at the edge of day.

I met you on a golden day,
The wind was playing in your hair,
Your laughter drifted far away,
But all I saw were your eyes there.

That evening by the riverside,
You spoke so loud, I whispered low,
Your laughter made the birds take flight,
And the stars bloomed where we’d go.

Refrain
I forgot your name,
But not the fire of that night,
Your gaze, your sweet surrender’s flame,
Still dances in the fading light.

I forgot your name,
But not the warmth of your smile,
Your ghost still walks this house again,
And stays with me a little while.

Pont
I forgot your name,
But your face still finds its way,
Like an old song soft and plain,
That trembles at the edge of day.


We met without a single plan,
Beneath a summer’s gentle rain,
Your words were light, like dreams began,
So tender, fragile, yet so plain.

No words were said, we understood,
It would be brief — and that was fine.
Time slipped away, as silence stood,
And left your shadow close to mine.

Refrain
I forgot your name,
But not the fire of that night,
Your gaze, your sweet surrender’s flame,
Still dances in the fading light.

I forgot your name,
But not the warmth of your smile,
Your ghost still walks this house again,
And stays with me a little while.

Pont
I forgot your name,
But your face still finds its way,
Like an old song soft and plain,
That trembles at the edge of day.
