Two lonely people

One lonely night

Room full of strangers

Like you and I

Laughing and talking

Trying to hide

The aching that's breaking inside

We're here together

A little afraid

Needing each other

But in two different ways

Somehow we know

even though we've just met

I'm here to remember

You're here to forget

Oh but why don't we

Dance this dance

Oh but why don't

You hold me close

Though we both can

See tonight may be

As far as it goes

I can't promise forever

I just can't do that yet

I'm here to remember

And you're here to forget

There's something about you

Has taken me by surprise

I wasn't looking

For what I found in your eyes

I gotta stop feeling these

Feelings I get

Cause you're here to make memories

And I'm not over mine yet

Oh but why don't

We dance this dance

Oh but why don't

You hold me close

Though we both can see

Tonight may be

As far as it goes

I can't promise forever

I just can't do that yet

I'm here to remember

And you're here to forget

I'm here to remember

And you're here to forget
