"Clementine" lyrics

I've been changing
But the burnin' stays the same
What can I do to tame the heat of this fire?
Forever savin'
The remnants of a love
Like ancient stories told from another time
Eternally painted on my mind
Mmm

Color it gray
Until I forget you
Like I never met you
My dearest Clementine
Throw it away
But close enough to you
'Cause although I hate you
I will still fall in love, my Clementine
Every time, mmm

And if you're fadin'
Then honey I'll be fadin' too
Darling, I don't even know who I am without you
Forever waitin'
Times never wasted and still
I find myself growin' old over you

You came in a dream
You touched the depths of my mind
Oh, no, no, no

Color it gray
Until I forget you
Like I never met you
My dearest Clementine
Throw it away
But close enough to you
'Cause although I hate you
I will still fall in love, my Clementine
Every time, always

No matter how hard I try
My Clementine, every time
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Color it gray
Until I forget you
Like I never met you
My dearest, my dearest Clementine
Color it gray
Until I forget you
Like I never met you (Oh, oh)
My dearest Clementine (My dearest Clementine)
Throw it away
But close enough to you
'Cause although I hate you ('Cause although I hate you)
I will still fall in love, my Clementine (I'll still fall in love)
Every time, always

No matter how hard I try
My Clementine, every time
Mmm, mmm
You're always on my mind
