He will walk into the room
And look at me
And I'll melt away


He will smile his little smile
And he will see

How I melt away

But all the while

She'll be there
And I can't get
Him to forget her


She'll be there
And I can't get

Him to forget her
The love he lost long ago


He will take me in his arms
And in his arms
I will melt away


He will press his lips to mine
Let him be mine

I will softly pray

And all the while

She'll be there
And I can't get
Him to forget her


She'll be there
And I can't get

Him to forget her
The love he once used to know


Why couldn't I have
Been first in his life
How happy we two could be


Why must there be
Such a thirst in his life

For a memory instead of me

But I love him

Oh, so much, so very much
I can't let him go


So I'll take the love he gives
What love he gives
But I'll always know


Deep in his heart
She'll be there

And I can't get
Him to forget her


She'll be there
And he never will forget her
She'll be there

And I can't get
Him to forget her
