Song of Forgetting

This house and all these rooms
 Last Christmas or last year
 Out back the dogwood blooms
 Do I really live here?
 The paint, the walls, all this glass and wood
 You don't recall?
 How I wish I could
 Our house on Walton Way
 The house with the red door
 Our trip to San Tropez
 The whole week a downpour
 My first few steps, and my first lost tooth
 What, nothing yet?
 Well, to tell the truth...
 Sing a song of forgetting
 A song of the way things were not
 Sing of what's lost to you
 Of times that you never knew
 Sing of not remembering when
 Of memories that go unremembered, and then
 Sing the song of forgetting again
 That day our child was born
 Our baby girl's first cry
 That gray and drizzly morn
 I've never felt so high
 The day we met and we shared two beers
 Then?
 I forget
 But that's nineteen years
 What a lovely cure
 It's a medical miracle
 With a mind so pure
 That she doesn't know anything
 It's there, I'm sure
 'Cause memories don't die (Why?)
 They don't die (They die) Sing a song... (Sing a song...) A song of the way... (A song of the way things were not)
 Sing of what's lost to you {What's lost to you}
 Of times that you never knew {You never knew}
 Sing of not remembering when
 Of memories that go unremembered, and then
 Sing a song of forgetting
 (Sing a song of forgetting)
