Many visions build up in my mind
I sit here deep in thought
With dreams of things that might have been
and wondering why or why not
Moving on with a life well-lived when you hear that old sweet song
Memories come racing back, though buried for so long

Is it ever forgotten, will it ever go away?
The thoughts of how things were before and the plans of yesterday.
Is it ever forgotten, will it ever end?
The hope that someday she'll return and love will live again.

You said that we would last forever, our love would never end.
I never thought you'd break my heart, or that it could ever mend.
But I've moved on and so have you and our lives are good apart.
So tell me why at times it seems you still control my heart.

Is it ever forgotten, will it ever go away?
The thoughts of how things were before and the plans of yesterday.
Is it ever forgotten, will it ever end?
The hope that someday she'll return and love will live again.

It's over, it's over, it's time that I forgot
It's over, it's over, I'll put away these thoughts
It's over, it's over, it's time that I forgot
It's over, it's over, I'll put away these thoughts

Is it ever forgotten, will it ever go away?
The thoughts of how things were before and the plans of yesterday.
Is it ever forgotten, will it ever end?
The hope that someday she'll return and love will live again.

The hope that one day you'll return and our love will live again.
