So Soon
Wanda Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You promised love that never would end but now you're gone and my heartaches begin
You tell me I'm no more than a friend my darling, have you forgotten so soon

The sweet love we knew fell by the way, the tears from my eyes fall day after day
Recalling the time we were carefree and gay, my darling have you forgotten so soon
My darling have you forgotten so soon
