Lest We Forget Lyrics

Lest we forget

Your dates 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 shouldn’t have

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have lost

When I was a child

I didn’t see her much

She past away before I was five

I was so young that it barely affected my life

The 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 shouldn’t have

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have lost

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have

Love that we lost, love that we shouldn’t have lost
