  Ever changing as it flows.

  And never knowing what's in store
  Makes each day a constant battle
  Just to stay between the shores.

  Paint your palette blue and gray

  Catch the breeze and the winter chills
  In colors on the snowy linen land.

  Unforgettable though near or far
  Like a song of love that clings to me
  How the thought of you does things to me

  That's why, darling, it's incredible
  That someone so unforgettable
  Thinks that I am unforgettable too
