Lest We Forget

Lest we forget,
your dates as a younger man.
like how when you were 9,
you fell in love because she was
the 1st 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 shouldnt have lost.

Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have lost.

When I was a child, I didnt see her much.
She passed away before i was 5.
I was so young that it barely affected my life.
Then one day when i asked you
told me she was magnifacent.
all that i had was your word and a photograph.
But that look in your eyes told me all that
I needed to know.

Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have lost.
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldnt have,
Love that we lost,
love that you shouldnt have lost.
