Back to my home town I wanderd one day
It seemed that the old gang had drifted away
I wandered down Main Street, the view to enjoy
There I met with a girl I had loved as a boy
Gone are the days when our hearts beat as one
All I can say now is see what you've done
Gone are the days when we thrilled to each vow
She has forgotten everything now
(Instrumental Break)
I still have her picture, her face sweet and fair
A rose that she gave me, a lock of her hair
I treasure and keep them, it's silly I know
For she has forgotten, long, long ago
Gone are the days when our hearts beat as one
All I can say now is see what you've done
Gone are the days when we thrilled to each vow
She has forgotten everything now
********************
ADDITIONAL 2nd VERSE:
She glanced at me calmly and calmly walked by
She didn't recall me, for years had gone by
She has forgotten the love we once knew
She has forgotten, can it be true
