Do You Remember
Phil Collins, Evening Star Orchestra
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We never talked about it But I hear the blame was mine I'd call you up to say I'm sorry But I wouldn't want to waste your time Cause I love you, but I can't take any more There's a look I can't describe in your eyes If we could try, like we tried before Would you keep on telling me those lies Do you remember? There seemed no way to make up Cause it seemed your mind was set And the way you looked it told me It's a look I know I'll never forget You could've come over to my side You could've let me know You could've tried to see the difference between us But it seemed too far for you to go. Do you remember? Through all of my life In spite of all the pain You know people are funny sometimes Cause they just can't wait To get hurt again Do you remember? There are things we won't recall Feelings we'll never find It's taken so long to see it Cause we never seemed to have the time There was always something more important to do More important to say But "I love you" wasn't one of those things And now it's too late Do you remember?
