Can I forget you
or will my heart remind me
that once we walked
in a moonlit dream?
Can I forget you,
or will my heart remind me
how sweet you made
the moonlight seem?

Will the glory of your nearness
fade as moonlight
fades in a vail of rain?

Can I forget you
when every night reminds me
how much I want you back again?

They asked me how I knew
my true love was true
I of course replied
something here inside
cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
all who love are blind
when your heart's on fire
you must realize
smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them
and I gaily laughed
to think they would doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
tears I can not hide
so I smile and say
when a lovely flame dies
smoke gets in your eyes

Will the glory of your nearness
fade as moonlight
fades in a vail of rain?

Can I forget you
when every night reminds me
how much I want you back again?
