SOLVED: Wow. Really need help here (80s maybe early 90s song).

Ok, I hope some of you geniuses are able to crack this one for me. I only know one line of the song and I'm not even sure it's correct (though I think it is). I heard it years ago so I'm thinking it's possibly from the late 80s to early/mid 90s. It's possibly a love song and it sounds kind of sad but with a sort of optimistic beat. The only line I know goes:

"(And?) I... will never forget you"

The "I" is drawn out like "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII IIII I" (lol if that makes sense) so that's probably the best clue I can give from such a common phrase. This line seems to be the start of the chorus and it comes up repeatedly.

The singer is male, by the way. Or an extremely masculine sounding woman.

I just heard it in a restaurant yesterday but sadly I was in the middle of an important conversation and couldn't focus enough to listen for more words.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful to hear them.

No, that's not it. The song I'm thinking of is a little less energetic and I swear the man sings something like "I will never forget you".

Thank you for the suggestion, though. If you have any other ideas, please share them.

Another long shot from Jon Secada: Angel

When Claybricks gave his suggestion, I started to listen to the song and thought "This could be it!" It sounded very close but just a little off. Of course it turned out to be a different song though it sounded so close. Now I know why it sounded so close: Claybricks had the singer right but just the wrong tune.

Rcfatal, you got it! As I said in the OP, I wasn't even sure if the only line I heard was correct and turns out it wasn't. lol Even with me giving one incorrect lyric you guys went in the right direction and found it.

Thank you so much, Rcfatal, for nailing it. And thanks to Claybricks for perhaps pointing us in the right direction. You guys are awesome.
