Testo di Sondheim: I Wish I Could Forget You / Loving You (Passion)

I wish I could forget you Erase you from my mind But ever since I met you I find I cannot leave the thought of you behind That doesn't mean I love you I wish that I could love you I know that I've upset you I know I've been unkind I wanted you to vanish from sight But now I see you in a different light And though I cannot love you I wish that I could love you For now I'm feeling love Like none I've ever known A love as pure as breath As permanent as death Implacable as stone A love that like a knife Has cut into a life I wanted left alone A love I may regret But one I can't forget I don't know how I let you So far inside my mind But there you are and there you will stay How could I ever wish you away? I see now I was blind And should you die tomorrow Another thing I see Your love will live in me Loving you Is not a choice It's who I am Loving you Is not a choice And not much reason To rejoice But it gives me purpose Gives me voice To say to the world This is why I live You are why I live Loving you Is why I do The things I do Loving you Is not in my Control But loving you I have a goal For what's left of my life I will live And I will die For you This is why I live You are why I live Loving you Is why I do The things I do Loving you Is not in my Control But loving you I have a goal For what's left of my life I will live And I will die For you
