No I Could Never Forget-Charles Aznavour

[00:12.00]I never really thought we’d ever meet again [00:18.00]But fate deals out the hands; we must take what its chosen. [00:24.00]When in an idle glance you appeared, time was frozen. [00:31.00]No, I could never forget. [00:43.00]I look upon your face, I can’t believe my eyes. [00:49.00]Passing times often cruel, it fades youth like a flower. [00:55.00]But you have never changed, where the years but an hour? [01:03.00]No, I could never forget, never forget. [01:15.00]Married, me? Heavens no! I’m still single, but happy. [01:22.00]To be free, unattached and between you and me, [01:28.00]Better that than ill-matched, though at times I feel lonely. [01:34.00]But enough about me, let’s drink to you and life. [01:44.00]How have you been, all these years? Are you happy and well? [01:51.00]No? I guess I could tell. And your marriage? It’s ended. [01:54.00]Do your parents regret? That’s not what they intended. [02:04.00]No, I could never forget. [02:13.00]Who could have ever known, without a single word, [02:18.00]That we’d come face to face? There’d not been any reason. [02:25.00]I thought all things must die, as a time or a season. [02:32.00]No, I could never forget. [02:43.00]I don’t know what to say, it’s like some crazy dream, [02:49.00]The way the past returns, all my memories unbroken. [02:54.00]Yes, I remember too every word that was spoken. [03:03.00]No, I could never forget, never forget. [03:15.00]Youth, a foolish age, we thought love was our treasure. [03:22.00]But your father said no, you would marry someone, [03:28.00]With position and name: you’d receive life’s full measure. [03:34.00]And he said with a smile, I’m sure you understand? [03:43.00]So, with love in our eyes, we exchanged last goodbyes. [03:51.00]But your father was shrewd: all my unanswered letters [03:56.00]Forced me soon to conclude things had worked for the better. [04:03.00]No, I could never forget. [04:14.00]The hour is getting late, this place is closing down. [04:19.00]Come, yes come I’ll walk you home through the streets, dark and empty, [04:26.00]Like in our foolish days of kisses stolen nightly. [04:31.00]No, I could never forget. [04:43.00]Each season was for us a season for our love, [04:49.00]And we were not afraid as autumn turned to winter. [04:54.00]As long as there’s youth, it is springtime forever. [05:02.00]No, no I could never forget, never forget. [05:14.00]It’s strange, the warmth I feel in these moments together. [05:21.00]We’ve recaptured the time in the midst of our youth, [05:28.00]When two hearts were in line and were light as a feather. [05:32.00]But we both know the truth, we must live for today. [05:42.00]So, I'll ask, if I may, if you’d like me to stay? [05:50.00]If this time we can share what the past was concealing. [05:55.00]If you’re lonely and care, if you have the same feeling. [06:03.00]If you’re remembering yet, [06:11.00]All the things I could never forget.
