WASN’T IT JUST WONDERFUL
WHEN I BELIEVED
WASN’T IT DANDY
WHEN YOU HAD
ALL OF ME
ALL OF ME

IS IT ANY WONDER
YOU ARE THERE
THERE IN YOUR NOWHERE
WHILE I AM HERE
IN MY EVERYWHERE

CONSTANT
IN MY FLUCTUATION
I DON’T KNOW
HOW I FORGOT
FORGOT YOU
FORGOT MY BLUES
FORGOT THE VERY FEW
I LOVE YOU’S

DIDN’T I SEE
HOW COULD I BE
SO BLINDLY
ME.
