Ten Thousand Tomorrows

Long ago you were all the world to me
From here to horizon, far as eye could see
But time, it moved on, leaving you behind
(For) Ten thousand tomorrows you've been out of my mind

    Once I really loved you, I loved you a lot
    Once I really loved you. Why have I forgot?

Forgotten the way you sat on a chair
Forgotten your smile and the scent of your hair
Don't even recall the touch of your hand
Forgotten it all. It's not what I planned.

    Once I really loved you. I loved you a lot
    Once I really loved you. Why have I forgot?

I open this morning's paper and there is your face
Next to some strangers, each one in its place
You died yesterday. Imagine my shock.
Once I really loved you. Why have I forgot.
