Tears fill my eyes when I realize
That you’ve gone for good.
I couldn’t believe that you’d ever leave
Though you said you would.
It may be too late, but won’t you please wait
Before we’re all through?
Won’t you give me time to just speak my mind
And ask this of you?
If you should think about me now and then,
Please forget about the now
And remember how it was back then
When we first took that vow
To love each other forever,
And maybe you’ll think again.
If you’ll forget about the now
And remember back then.
I know you’re concerned. Believe me I’ve learned
What love is about.
Though I have no right to be here tonight
Won’t you hear me out?
I miss you so much. I long for your touch
And your tender kiss.
If you ever find that I cross your mind,
Please promise me this.
