Song of Forgetting

作词 : Brian Yorkey/Tom Kitt

作曲 : Tom Kitt

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 st tropez

The whole week a downpour

My first few steps

And my first lost tooth

What nothing yet

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 a song of forgetting again

That day our child was born

Our baby girl's first cry

That grey 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

I'll try

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 a song of forgetting

Sing a song of forgetting

Sing a song of forgetting

Again
