About Never Forget You

It was released as the fourth single from Music Box in the first quarter of 1994, as a double A-side with a cover of Badfinger's "Without You."

I won't 
See your smile
And I won't hear you laugh anymore
Every night
I won't see you walk through that door

'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to tell you
But I really need you to know, oh baby

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

Baby, can you hear me
Wherever you may be tonight 
Are you near me
I need you to be by my side

'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you
God knows I need you to know, oh baby

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

Somewhere
I know you'll be with me
Someday
In another time
But right now you're gone
You've just vanished away
But I'll never leave you behind

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories
You will always be dear to me baby

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
