How Can I Help - Tooniverse

It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?

It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?

It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye? How can I help you to say goodbye?

You wore that white sundress, smoked a clove cigarette Danced barefoot and your hair was a mess You drove a Jeep Cherokee but no money for gas Coulda looked at you all day long, all day long You tried to downplay your beauty but you couldn't fool me You tried to play like you're tough but you grew up by the beach Said you hated the world but somehow you liked me Coulda looked at you all night long, all night long Coulda looked at you all night long, all night long How can I forget you in the morning? How can I forget you? I was dreaming you were standing there wearing my t-shirt Wishing that you could still be here How can I forget? I can't, I can't How can I forget? I can't, I can't Ran ten blocks in the rain, girl Train ain't running this late, girl You're the only one to do me like that Why you biting on your lip like that? (Don't stop) Falling through that doorway Stopping this ain't no way I shut my eyes for a second you were gone, gone, gone Now I'm thinking 'bout you all night long, all night long How can I forget you in the morning? How can I forget you? I was dreaming you were standing there wearing my t-shirt Wishing that you could still be here How can I forget? I can't, I can't How can I forget? I can't, I can't You wore that white sundress, smoked a clove cigarette Danced barefoot and your hair was a mess Let you slip through my fingers but you're stuck in my head And I've been thinking 'bout you for so long, for so long How can I forget...
