I've forgotten you, I never think of you, The way you walked, the way you talked, the things you used to say. I've forgotten you, I never think of you, I couldn't say for sure today Whether your eyes were blue or grey. I've forgotten you, I never think of you, Your smile, your touch, Which meant so much, Somewhere along the way. I've forgotten you, I never think of you, I changed my mind , my love was blind , Now I've forgotten you. I'm through. I'll never think of you Oh, what a lie! I shall think of you, Think of you, Think of you, Till I die. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgu8nBQmRcM

Andreas whipped up a gorgeous tune to my posting. This includes the full lyric, although the pronunciation is a little wide and not all the chorus are performed. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne ? CHORUS: For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne. And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup ! And surely I'll be mine ! And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne. CHORUS We twa hae run about the braes, and pou'd the gowans fine ; But we've wander'd mony a weary fit, sin' auld lang syne. CHORUS We twa hae paidl'd in the burn, frae morning sun till dine ; But seas between us braid hae roar'd sin' auld lang syne. CHORUS And there's a hand, my trusty fiere ! And gies a hand o' thine ! And we'll tak a right gude-willie-waught, for auld lang syne.
