I find it difficult to think
That once you cared for me at all
I can't believe that you refuse to speak to me
Each time I call
Have you forgotten so soon
That love night in June, our graduation dance
The glorious beginning of a beautiful romance
All those gay diversions we planned in advance
Have you forgotten so soon
Have you forgotten so soon
The sun upon the sand, the moon of yellow gold
The things at Coney Island that the fortune teller told
Air-conditioned movies that gave us a cold
Have you forgotten so soon
Don't you still remember
The witches party on Halloween
And that grand December
The whitest Christmas we've ever seen
Have you forgotten so soon
That loving cup we made of old Italian wine
That New Year's Eve at Tony's when the gang sang Auld Lang Syne
All those nights in heaven that used to be mine
Have you forgotten so soon
(Instrumental Break)
Don't you still remember
The moonlight hayride, the Beaux Arts Ball
And that grand September
The crimson woodland, the waterfall
Have you forgotten so soon
The concert in the park, the Army-Navy game
The time I lost my money on a horse that bore your name
The day I snapped your picture that's still in my frame
Have you forgotten so soon
