Lest We Forget lyrics

Lest we forget
Your dates as a younger man
Like how when you were nine you fell in love
Because she was the first girl you’d seen throw a cricket ball
You knew that you’d be together for the rest of your lives
Now you sit alone in the sun in the backyard
Feeding the birds, reading the newspaper
Thinking about the love that you shouldn’t have lost

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have
Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have
Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have lost

When I was a child
I didn’t see her much
She past away before I was five
I was so young that it barely affected my life
The one day when I asked you told me she was magnificent
All that I had was your word and a photograph
But one look in your eyes told me all that I needed to know

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have
Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have
Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have lost

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have
Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have
Love that we lost, love that we shouldn’t have lost
