If I Forget Your Face, Love Lyrics

If I forget your face, love

I'll remember the feeling still

Leaning back against your chest

And the sun setting over Nashville

Then we reach the part

When it's time to go

And I ask you please to stay

But you leave anyway

I never knew

That memories

Could feel as painful

As the day they're made

When you forget my name, love

Please remember your hand in mine

Leading you down to the river

A moment with no care for time

Then the world intrudes

And my fickle thoughts

Find their way into my heart

That's when the doubtin' starts

I never thought

That me and you

Could feel so close

But end so far apart

When the world intrudes

And my fickle thoughts

Find their way into my heart

That's when the doubtin' starts

I never knew

That memories

Could feel as painful

As the day they're made

And I've always been too proud

I know I pushed

Your love away

My worst mistake

I'm livin' to regret it

I can't explain

Why I let go

But today I know

That I can't forget you now

When I forget to forget, love

It always takes me by surprise

In that moment I'm back in your arms, love

I catch my breath and I close my eyes

Then we reach the part

When you pack your things

And I'm beggin' you to stay

But I found the words too late

I never knew

That memories

Could feel as painful

As the day they're made

And my thoughts go round and round

I know I pushed

Your love away

My worst mistake

I'm livin' to regret it

I can't explain

Why I let go

But today I know

I can't forget you now

I know

I can't forget you now

Today I know

I can't forget you now
