Unforgettable
Aretha Franklin; Arranged by Robert Mersey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible




That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
