Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out

Love's strange, surreal in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling down, down, down

Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
