Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sendin' you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
[Verse 2]
Sendin' you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
[Verse 3]
Those were the times we had
Sharing a joy that we thought would last
Memories of love and affection
Never really was, just like a dream
Was it the simple things
That made me so crazy about you?
Was it your charm or your passion?
It's not hard to believe
I love you and I need you, so I'm
[Verse 4]
Sendin' you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
[Verse 5]
Sendin' you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
[Verse 6]
Did we give up too soon?
Maybe we needed just a little room
Wonderin' how it all happened
Maybe we just need a little time
Though we did end as friends
Given the chance, we could love again
She'll always love you forever
It's not hard to believe
I want you and I need you, so I'm
[Verse 7]
Sendin' you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
[Verse 8]
Sendin' you forget me nots ( 'Get me nots)
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not (Forget me not)
I want you to remember
[Verse 9]
Sendin' you forget me nots
Baby, please forget me not
Good times we had (Sendin' you forget me nots)
They were so rad, the life we shared (Baby, please forget me not)
Pretty baby, I still care
[Verse 10]
Sendin' you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
[Verse 11]
Sendin' you forget me nots
(To help you to remember) Help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember
