66. Forget If You Can

Jack Manus & K. Upham & L. Joy

Forget if you can
Romantic music one magical night
A corner table in dim candle light
A kiss that was heaven for two

Forget if you can
The day we hiked to where nobody knows
The swell spaghetti at Tony and Joe’s
It hasn’t been fun without you

Don’t you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed
When we were photographed
As Handsome Hal and his tintype gal

Why shouldn’t we plan
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget if you can

(bridge)

Don’t you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed
When we were photographed
As Handsome Hal and his tintype gal

Why shouldn’t we plan
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget if you can

Forget if you can
Romantic music one magical night
A corner table in dim candle light
A kiss that was heaven for two

Forget if you can
The day we hiked to where nobody knows
The swell spaghetti at Tony and Joe’s
It hasn’t been fun without you

Don’t you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed
When we were photographed
As Handsome Hal and his tintype gal

Why couldn’t we plan
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget if you can

Don’t you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed

Why couldn’t we plan
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget if you can

According to Jerry Meyer from NY, Handsome Hal was a nickname for a charming guy, similar to Handsome Harry. We thank him for that hint.

According to Ardilaun, tintype is an old photographic technique. I thank him for this precious hint.
