Matador

[No lyrics]

. . .


I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we shared before
And I'd been trying to forget someone who my heart still adores
So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

You were someone who brought happiness into my life
and it did not last forever but that's all right
we were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend
And if I had the chance I'd do it all again

So I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we had before
And the best days of my life are still when you walk through that door
so I'm not trying to forget you anymore

. . .


Been feelin' kind of free
But I sure do feel lonesome
Baby's takin' a trip
But she ain't takin' me

I've been feelin' kinda free
But I'd rather feel your arms around me
'Cause you're takin' away
Ev'rything that I wanted

There's an old hollow tree
Where we carved our initials
And I said I love you
And you said you love me

It's a mem'ry today
It'll be a mem'ry tomorrow
I hope you'll be happy someday
(And) Your mem'ry won't die in my grave

(repeat last two verses)

. . .


I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we shared before
And I'd been trying to forget someone who my heart still adores
So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

You were someone who brought happiness into my life
and it did not last forever but that's all right
we were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend
And if I had the chance I'd do it all again

So I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we had before
And the best days of my life are still when you walk through that door
so I'm not trying to forget you anymore

. . .


I've been too sick to pray, Lord
That's why we ain't talked in a while
It's been some of them days, Lord
I thought I was on my last mile

But I'm feelin' okay, Lord
And I'm glad that I called You today
Never needed You more
I woulda called You before
But I've been to sick to pray

Remember the family, Lord?
I know they will remember You+
And all of their prayers, Lord
They talk to You just like I do

Well, I reckon that's all, Lord
That's all I can think of to say
And thank You, my friend
We'll be talkin' again
If I'm not too sick to pray

I'm waiting forever for you
For this is my destiny
This is what I am to do

But forever ain't no time at all
It's only the time
Between telephone calls

And the love that I hear
And your voice is so clear comin' through
Keeps me waiting forever
Waiting forever for you

I'm waiting forever for you
For this is my destiny
This is what I am to do

Waiting is no waste of time
I just play out the scenes
On a stage in my mind

I love makin' love to your memory
It's all that I do
While I'm waiting forever
Waiting forever for you

. . .


We don't run, we don't compromise
We don't quit, we never do
We look for love, we find it in the eyes
The eyes of me and the eyes of you

You are the road, you are the only way
I'll follow you forever more
We'll look for love, we'll find it in the eyes
The eyes that see through all the doors

There is a train that races through the night
On rails of steel that reach the soul
Fueled by fire as soft as candle light
But it warms the heart of a love grown cold

And we don't run and we don't compromise
We don't quit, we never do
We look for love, we find it in the eyes
The eyes of me and the eyes of you

Words that feel, words that sympathize
Words that heal and understand
Say them now, let them materialize
Say the words throughout the land

We don't run, we don't compromise
We don't quit, we never do
We look for love, find it in the eyes
The eyes of me and the eyes of you

And we don't run and we don't compromise
We don't quit, we never do
We look for love, we find it in the eyes
The eyes of me and the eyes of you

. . .


I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
what a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

A thousand times I see you
and a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
what a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

A thousand times I see you
and a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
