I Wish I Could Forget You

[00:00.10] Fosca, it will be light soon
[00:01.35] I should be going
[00:02.02] Would you do me a great favor before you leave?
[00:03.97] Would you write a letter for me?
[00:07.31] Certainly
[00:10.96] My dearest Fosca
[00:13.28] Please
[00:20.19] 'My dearest Fosca'
[00:21.87] I wish I could forget you
[00:27.90] Erase you from my mind
[00:32.03] But ever since I met you
[00:37.11] I find, I cannot leave the thought of you behind
[00:44.41] That doesn't mean I love you
[00:47.28] That doesn't mean I love you
[00:49.80] I wish that I could love you
[00:54.50]
[00:57.05] I know that I've upset you
[01:02.75] I know I've been unkind
[01:08.15] I wanted you to vanish from sight
[01:13.65] But now I see you in a different light
[01:19.18] And though I cannot love you
[01:23.42] I wish that I could love you
[01:29.52] For now I'm seeing love like none I've ever known
[01:39.63] A love as pure as breath, as permanent as death
[01:44.88] Implacable as stone
[01:49.83] A love that, like a knife, has cut into a life
[01:55.40] I wanted left alone
[02:00.72] A love I may regret, but one I can't forget
[02:11.64] I don't know how I let you so far inside my mind
[02:23.18] But there you are and there you will stay
[02:28.87] How could I ever wish you away?
[02:34.25] I see now I was blind
[02:40.39] And should you die tomorrow
[02:44.73] Another thing I see
[02:51.17] Your love will live in me
[02:59.66] I remain... Your Giorgio
[03:02.75]
