Lest We Forget Lyrics - Shelter Me - The Waifs

Lest we forget 

Your dates as a younger man 

Like how when you were nine you fell in love 

Because she was the first girl youd seen throw a cricket ball 

You knew that youd be together for the rest of your lives 

Now you sit alone in the sun in the backyard 

Feeding the birds, reading the newspaper 

Thinking about the love that you shouldnt have lost 

Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have 

Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have 

Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have lost 

When I was a child 

I didnt see her much 

She past away before I was five 

I was so young that it barely affected my life 

The one day when I asked you told me she was magnificent 

All that I had was your word and a photograph 

But one look in your eyes told me all that I needed to know 

Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have 

Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have 

Love that you lost, love that you shouldnt have lost
