lyrics
My hopes for love have suddenly sank
One blow to the head and suddenly her mind is a blank
She looked at me and asked me who I am
With a weary voice I said again, "I'm your man"
My sweet Amnesia, your ignorance is bliss
My sweet Amnesia, oh won't you please remember this?
This is our first date, as far as she knows
I brought her candy and a single red rose
I love her so much there's nothing I would change
Even when she keeps on asking me what's her name?
My sweet Amnesia, your ignorance is bliss
My sweet Amnesia, oh won't you please remember this?
Every day she falls in love with me all over again
We live in the here and now 'cause she can't remember where or when
My sweet Amnesia, your ignorance is bliss
My sweet Amnesia, oh won't you please remember this?
