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 
You'd seen throw a cricket ball

You knew that you'd 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 shouldn't have lost

Love that you lost,
love that you shouldn't have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldn't have,
Love that you lost,
love that you shouldn't have lost

When I was a child, 
I didn't see her much
She passed away before I was five
I was so young 
That it barely affected my life
Then one day when I asked 
You told me she was magnificent
All that I had was 
Your word and a photograph
But that look in your eyes told me 
All that I needed to know

Love that you lost,
Love that you shouldn't have,
Love that you lost,
Love that you shouldn't have,
Love that you lost,
Love that you shouldn't have lost
Love that you lost,
Love that you shouldn't have,
Love that you lost,
Love that you shouldn't have,
Love that we lost,
Love that you shouldn't have lost.
