Archibald Alexander Leach (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986), better known by his stage name Cary Grant, was an English-American actor. Known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanor and "dashing good looks", Grant is considered one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men.
Grant was named the second Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute. Noted particularly for his work in comedy but also for drama, Grant's best-known films include The Awful Truth (1937), Bringing Up Baby (1938), Gunga Din (1939), The Philadelphia Story (1940), His Girl Friday (1940), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), Notorious (1946), To Catch A Thief (1955), An Affair to Remember (1957), North by Northwest (1959) and Charade (1963).
Nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Actor, for Penny Serenade (1941) and None But the Lonely Heart (1944), and five times for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, Grant was continually passed over, and in 1970 was given an Honorary Oscar at the 42nd Academy Awards. Frank Sinatra presented Grant with the award, "for his unique mastery of the art of screen acting with the respect and affection of his colleagues".
Yesterday I found that poem you wrote
So meaningful the words that you spoke
Did you see the real side of me?
Or just create your own fantasy
I tried to believe we were meant to be
All that's left is this tragedy
Forget to remember the times that we had (we had)
To love again and be free again
Forget to remember the times that we left (we left)
To love again and be free again
I've moved on found someone else
Someone who could let me be myself
Destiny changed suddenly
I've learned to grow planting brand new seeds
I tried to believe we were meant to be
All that's left is this tragedy
Forget to remember the times that we had (we had)
To love again and be free again
Forget to remember the times that we left (we left)
To love again and be free again
Finally (No more tears to shed, from the lies you fed)
Such a waste (of the times I spent, giving you my best)
Forget to remember the times that we had (we had)
To love again and be free again
Forget to remember the times that we left (we left)
