eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

I've tried to erase you from memory
Erase the pain withinI've tried to forget the way you held me
Forget the safety of your embrace
I've tried to not remember your voice
Remember its calming effect over me
But no matter how hard I tryI can't erase you
Much less forget you
Because I'll always remember
I'll always remember you

I'll always remember that initial conversation
the first date
the first kiss
the night we made it official
the first sleepover
when you first said, "I love you"
when I finally said, "I love you too"

I'll always remember meeting your daughter
meeting your motherand
when you first doubted our love
the trips out of town
the times you said that you loved me and meant it
the nights I slept by your side
the many days I looked forward to seeing you

I'll always remember
And sometimes all I want to do is forget
Still I remember how much I loved you
and know how much I love you still.
