Two lonely people
one lonely night
Room full of strangers
like you and I
Laughing and talking
and trying to hide
The aching that’s
breaking inside

We’re here together
a little afraid
Needing each other
but in two different ways
Somehow we know
even though we just met
I’m here to remember
I’m here to forget

Oh but why don’t
we dance this dance
Oh why don’t
you hold me close
Though we both can see
Tonight may be
as far as it goes
I can’t promise forever
I just can’t do that yet
You’re here to remember
And you’re here to forget

Something about you
has taken me by surprise
I wasn’t looking for
what I found in your eyes
Gotta stop feeling
These feeling’s I guess
Cos I’m here to make memories
I’m not over mine yet

Oh but why don’t
we dance this dance
Oh why don’t you
hold me close
Though we both can see
Tonight may be
as far as it goes
I can’t promise forever
I just can’t do that yet
You’re here to remember
And you’re here to forget

You’re here to remember
And you’re here to forget
