Chorus
I will never forget
Never ever forget
Just like an elephant big and round
Great grey trunk that touches the ground
I will never forget
Verse 1
Every day that goes by
Sometimes wondering Why ?
Through each sunrise and each sunset
I will never forget
Chorus
Verse 2
Growing older each day
In my heart you will stay
Watching over me I pray
I will never forget
Chorus
Verse 3
Remembering times we’ve had
Makes me happy and sad
But there’s something that makes
ME GLAD
I will never forget
Chorus
