Everyone Has Someone They Can't Forget

Conway Twitty · Don't Call Him a Cowboy [1985]

She gently opens up her scrapbook and a faded rose falls out

It's the one he gave to her on their last date

But his memory hasn't faded; she's not over him yet

Everyone has someone they can't forget.



It's been nine years since he saw her, but he keeps on goin' back

To places where they made their sweet memories

And he keeps her worn-out picture in a dresser by his bed

Everyone has someone they can't forget.



Everyone remembers someone who used to care

We all carry memories of someone somewhere.



I believe you really love me but every now and then

I can see an old flame there in your eyes

But he's only a memory, I have one myself

Everyone has someone they can't forget.



Everyone has someone they can't forget...
