I Wish I Could Forget You Lyrics & Tabs by Stephen Sondheim
I Wish I Could Forget You
guitar chords lyrics
I wish I could forget you
Erase you from my mind
But ever since I met you I find
I cannot leave the thought of you behind
That doesn't mean I love you
I wish that I could love you
I know that I've upset you
I know I've been unkind
I wanted you to vanish from sight
But now I see you in a different light
And though I cannot love you
I wish that I could love you
For now I'm feeling love
Like none I've ever known
A love as pure as breath
For now I'm feeling love
Like none I've ever known
A love as pure as breath
As permanent as death
Implacable as stone
A love that like a knife
Has cut into a life I wanted left alone
A love I may regret
But one I can't forget
I don't know how I let you
So far inside my mind
But there you are and there you will stay
How could I ever wish you away?
I've seen how I was blind
And should you die tomorrow
Another thing I see
Your love will live in me
Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
And not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose, gives me voice
To say to the world
This is why I live
You are why I live
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you I have a goal for what's left of my life
I will live and I will die for you
This is why I live
You are why I live
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you I have a goal for what's left of my life
I will live and I will die
For you
