Artist/Band: Dottie West
Lyrics for Song: I'll Help You Forget Her
Lyrics for Album: I'll Help You Forget Her [RCA Victor] [1967]



(Yvonne Devaney)



I'll help you forget her if you'll let me

I'll welcome your arms open wide

I'll give you my shoulder to cry on

Until all your teardrops have dried.



I'll help you forget her when you're lonely

My arms will be your code to call

A shield from the storm that has hurt you

A love that won't stumble and fall.



All alone on an arm charted ocean

You search for a love that used to be

Toss and turn by the tide of emotion

Adrift like a ship hopelessly lost at sea.



But I'll help you forget her if you'll let me

I'll guide you safely to shore

I'll be the anchor you cling to

Your harbor of love evermore...
