Can I Forget You?
OSCAR II HAMMERSTEIN, JEROME KERN
Soon you leave me,
This last night flying,
Pale stars are weeping,
Sad breezes sigh.
When you leave me,
Can love end with trying?
Can love so living,
So quickly die?
Can I forget you?
Or will my heart remind me,
That once we walked in a moonlight 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 veil of rain?
Can I forget you,
When every night reminds me,
How much I want you back again.
Can I forget you?
Or will my heart remind me,
That once we walked in a moonlight dream?
