Never Forget You may refer to:
The phrase "never forget" is a commemorative political slogan that originated after the Holocaust. It is widely used to encourage remembrance for national and international tragedies. These have included the horrors of American slavery, the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001, the Holocaust in Europe during World War II, the Armenian Genocide of the 1910s, and other acts of genocide and mass murder.
It is often used in conjunction with "Never Again".
Similar terms have been used in times before, including "lest we forget" at the end of the "Ode of Remembrance".
From the late 1940s to 2001, the phrase was used to protest genocide. While the main message of "never forget" is to remember the past so history does not repeat its mistakes, it also arguably implies vengeance and militarism, especially after 9/11 when the term was used by supporters of the War on Terror.
The phrase has been used by U.S. President George W. Bush and by President Barack Obama.
I won't see your smile
And I won't hear you laugh
Anymore
Every night
I won't see you walk
Through that door
'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to tell you
But I really need you to know
Oh baby no
I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby
Now baby can you hear me
Wherever you may be
Tonight
Are you near me
I need you to be
By my side
'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you
God knows I need you to know
Somewhere I know you'll be with me
Someday in another time
But right now you're gone
You just vanished away
