    Lyrics
    Thought I ran into you down on the street
    Then it turned out to only be a dream
    I made a point to burn all of the photographs
    She went away and then I took a different path
    I remember the face
    But I cant recall the name
    Now I wonder how whatsername has been

    Seems that she disappeared without a trace
    Did she ever marry old what's his face?
    I made a point to burn all of the photographs
    She went away and then I took a different path
    I remember the face
    But I cant recall the name
    Now I wonder how whatsername has been

    Remember, whatever
    It seems like forever ago
    Remember, whatever
    It seems like forever ago
    The regrets are useless
    In my mind
    She's in my head
    I must confess
    The regrets are useless
    She's in my head
    From so long ago

    (Go, Go, Go, Go..)

    And in the darkest night
    If my memory serves me right
    I'll never turn back time

    Forgetting you, but not the time
