Chorus: sending you forget me nots to help me to remember baby please forget me not i want you to remember sending you forget me nots to help me to remember baby please forget me not i want you to remember those were the times we had sharing a joy that we thought would last memories of love and affection never really was just like a dream was it the simple things that made me so crazy about you was it your charm or your passion it's not hard to believe i love you and i need you so i... (chorus) did we give up too soon maybe we needed just a little room wondering how it all happened maybe we just need a little time though we did end as friends given the chance we could love again [she'll always love you forever] it's not hard to believe i want you and i need you so i... (chorus) (instrumental break) Sending you forget me nots Baby please forgive me not (repeated by backing singers over which) good times we had... they weren't so bad what a life we shared (?) pretty baby I still care

Meaning of Forget Me Nots

“Forget Me Notts” is a poignant reflection on lost love and the enduring power of cherished memories. Patrice Rushen’s heartfelt plea, repeated throughout the song with the backing singers, centers around sending “forget me notts”—tokens of remembrance—to help herself grapple with a past relationship that ended as friends. The lyrics reveal a deep well of affection, acknowledging both the simple joys and passionate qualities that initially captivated her, admitting a continuing need for love and connection. There’s a wistful sense of wondering if they rushed things or needed more space, coupled with the hopeful possibility of rekindling their romance given another chance. Despite the bittersweet acknowledgment of what was lost, the core message is one of enduring love – “she'll always love you forever” – and a gentle invitation for forgiveness and perhaps, ultimately, reunion, expressed through the repeated, comforting refrain.
