Non Dimenticar
Dean Martin · Italian Love Songs [Capitol] [2001]
Don't forget to be
all you mean to me
Non Dimenticar my love is like a star my darling
Shining bright and clear
Just because you're here
Please do not forget that our lips have met
And I held you tight dear
Was it dreams ago
My heart felt this glow only just tonight dear
Non Dimenticar although you travel far my darling
It's my heart you own so I'll wait alone
Non Dimenticar
Non Dimenticar although you travel far my darling
It's my heart you'll own so I'll wait alone Non Dimenticar
