Too good to be forgotten.
Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.
One thing led to another
Now what more can T sar?
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
One in a million people
Shout it from the highest steeple.
He's just one of the few
Got my mind
Got my life wrapped up in love!
Well
His hair was shiny
Long and black
It smelled so sweet and bright
I thought of him and dreamed of him all night affer night.
I love the ground he walks on
The very air he breathes
I ain't never gonna leave him 'cause I am as happy as Ican be.
He's just too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?...
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Fifty million reasons why I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.

Another massive 80s songwriting, producing and arrangement as always, only the early 80s could do such constantly...till the day I die, it'll never be forgotten. TQ Amazulu ❤️

This is mid 80's production though. Not early 80's!
Ralph Jackson
Hate to break it to you,but it's a cover version of a song that the Chi-Lites had a hit with in the 70s. I might be wrong,but I think I may have heard a version of it Neil Sedaka as well back then.
