I Thought I Never Would Forget Sözleri

(Phil Vassar/Tim Nichols)

I went back in time today a box I thought

I'd thrown away

Had fallen off the basement shelf,

I tripped and almost hurt myself

Scattered there across the floor

A New Year's Eve hat from '94

Ticket stubs to Billy Joel and pictures

From the Sugar Bowl

Some of these souvenirs I remember

Mostly I don't

It's funny how time reduces a keepsake

To a footnote

The wheres and the whens that meant

So much then

Have gracefully moved along

My memory had mercy on me and let me go on

Considering everything you meant I thought

I never would forget

Here's us dancing on your birthday

July 29th or 28th

The song was "Always and Forever,"

I'm not sure but I remember

That's the night we first made love

The passion captured both of us

It held us, then it set us free,

This is all that's left of you and me

A cardboard treasure chest with a diary

Of two lovers

Now it's a dusty old box no different

From the others

The wheres and the whens that meant

So much then

Have gracefully moved along

My memory had mercy on me and let me go on

Considering everything you meant I thought

I never would forget

My memory had mercy on me and let me go on

Considering everything you meant I thought

I never would forget
