It Will Not Be Forgotten Lyrics by The Pierces

You & I

2011

[Verse 1]
Seven months to the day since I saw your face
You roam the earth like a fire, holding out to the bitter end
You're holding on 'til the bitter end
I take a walk into town, tt's like a dead end street
The sidewalk sings your name, underneath my feet
Echoes of forgotten love
[Chorus]
Baby, where'd you go?
Did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling, what we had
It cannot be taken, it cannot be stolen
And it won't be forgotten
No, it won't be forgotten
[Verse 2]
Summer disappears like a dream I had
And winter comes with a knife that cuts you down
And it never ends, ooh, it never ends
I hurry past the place you like to drink alone
Seven months to the day you left me here on this avenue
And now, I think of you
[Chorus]
Baby, where'd you go?
Did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling, what we had
It cannot be taken, it cannot be broken
And it won't be forgotten
No, it won't be forgotten
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah)
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah)
[Verse 3]
Seven months to the day and you don't leave a trace
I searched the cracks in the ground, the tallest buildings
They never knew, oh, they never knew
[Chorus]
Baby, where'd you go?
Did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling, what we had
It cannot be taken, it cannot be broken
And it won't be forgotten
Baby, where'd you go?
Did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling, what we had
It cannot be taken, it cannot be stolen
And it won't be forgotten
No, it won't be forgotten
