Jars Of Clay - I Don't Want You To Forget

 

The touch of lips the close of eyes
They matter more than you surmise
I hide it all in secret boxes
Until tomorrow when we first meet

I watch you fade before my eyes
I can?t take it, but I won?t look away
Maybe the fires that feel so cold,
They won?t completely die away

I don?t want to, I don?t want you
I don?t want you to forget
I don?t want to, I don?t want you
I don?t want you to forget

I may not let you see my pain
I may not speak hard words in anger
To you maybe it isn?t really strange
You being loved by a stranger

I won?t give you up just yet
I will come calling at your door
Ours is a home we can?t get to anymore

I don?t want to, I don?t want you
I don?t want you to forget
I don?t want to, I don?t want you
I don?t want you to forget

Behind your eyes there is a distance
I ask you if you?d like to dance
You mistake me for a healer
I?m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
