Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005) was an American R&B singer. A formidable soul artist whose career spanned four decades- 70's (as backing singer to David Bowie (Young Americans) and Chic, 80's vocalist on early Change singles (Searching) before establishing a solo career that perhaps never realised his true potential. In the 90's he was probably more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey as well as an ongoing battle with his weight, that may have ultimately proved his undoing. Suffered a stroke in 2004, from which he never really recovered, and passed away in 2005. During his career, Vandross sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times.

Love Forgot Lyrics

Luther Vandross

Learn to love and you learn to survive
My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me
It was the story of my life
I awakened seeing with new eyes
I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me
Taught you to fear me, baby

Love forgot we used to be just fine
And love forgot about the tender times
Love forgot to ask you if you'd want to give me
Give me one more try
Maybe love forgot this time

Love can't love someone who breaks a vow
But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it
I still loved you every minute
I could fix it if you show me how
You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you
Praying you'd let me hold you

(I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive
(Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it
(It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way
Our poetry will ever rhyme
I think love forgot this time

But who would have ever known
I'd ever be tempted, but I'm hopin'
Love will show me what to do
Cuz if it was all so easy
Then anybody else coulda shown me
I don't understand how you wouldn't know
I never even meant it

(I can't believe) Did love forget this was the only time
(Impossible) Did love forget I tried to set things right
(It couldn't be) Did love forget to remember
That regret lives in this heart of mine
Maybe love forgot this time

(I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive
(Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it
(It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way
That poetry will ever rhyme
Maybe love forgot this time

Did you forget this time
Did you forget this time
Don't forget me now
Don't forget me now
Did you forget somehow
Did you forget somehow
