Your sweet expression, the smile you gave me
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget

I hear you whisper, "I'll always love you"
I know it's over, and yet
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget

So I must dream to have your hand caress me
Fingers press me tight
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feeling
Stealing through the night

Each little moment is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember and so hard to forget
