Have you tried to forget
When your lover has left you?
It’s so hard to forget
Someone you’ve loved
Have you cried to forget
Don't the tears come so easy?
Tears you just don’t regret
‘bout someone you’ve loved

What caused this pain
That’s haunting me so?
Was I to blame
I wish I could know
Don’t feel no shame
For tears that I show
I don’t feel that living's worthwhile
Guess I'm tired to forget
Still I think of you often
‘Cause your soul won’t forget
Someone you’ve loved
Someone you’ve loved!

Shirley Valerie Horn (May 1, 1934 – October 20, 2005) was an American jazz singer and pianist. She collaborated with many jazz musicians including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Toots Thielemans, Ron Carter, Carmen McRae, Wynton Marsalis and others. She was most noted for her ability to accompany herself with nearly incomparable independence and ability on the piano while singing, something described by arranger Johnny Mandel as "like having two heads", and for her rich, lush voice, a smoky contralto, which was described by noted producer and arranger Quincy Jones as "like clothing, as she seduces you with her voice".
