[Intro]

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)

(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)

(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)

[Verse 1]

Her heart was still bereft and all, sick and tired of steppin' on

Shine, my darling, never leave the light

I hate to see you skeptical, hugs that never helped at all

Things that I've accepted in this life

Loss was unaccеptable, wish we coulda kept it all

I'vе learned in love and death we don't decide

So sing until it fills the halls, sing until the curtain falls

Jealous of the ocean till those eyes

[Chorus]

It's not easy to forget how I loved you

But I really don't want anybody else

I'd give anything to see those eyes

I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night

It's not easy to forget how I loved you

But I really don't want anybody else

I'd give anything to see those eyes

I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night

[Post-Chorus]

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back) Oh

(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that) Oh

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back) Oh-ooh

(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)

[Verse 2]

There was never gonna be a right time

So I should leave before I lose the sunlight

I cannot keep your spirit pinned down

If it was working, would've known it by now

But I hope your life is beautiful, a story like a musical

Standing ovation every night

Just never let them kill your soul, I'm never gonna let you fall

My promises get stronger over time

[Chorus]

It's not easy to forget how I loved you

But I really don't want anybody else

I'd give anything to see those eyes

I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night

It's not easy to forget how I loved you

But I really don't want anybody else

I'd give anything to see those eyes

I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night

[Post-Chorus]

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back) Oh

(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that) Oh

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back) Oh-ooh

(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)

[Outro]

(Easy to forget how I loved you, easier than anything else)

(Easy to forget how I loved you, easier than anything else)
