why can't i forget? - maureen mcgovern lyrics

Loading...

i have the world’s worst memory
many times a day, i say,
where did i leave my key?
where have i put my purse?
where else should i be?
it’s perverse
a life of hide-and-seek
i never know the date and worse,
the day of the week

so, why can’t i forget
the day i met him?
he held the door and let me go ahead
rushing to our separate lives
we took a walk instead
why can’t i forget him
and every word he said?

i’m always sending christmas cards
they’re more interesting in spring
only my banker knows
the checks i forgot to sign
where did i get these clothes?
they’re not mine!
i made myself a list
of things i really have to find
but where is that list?

so, why can’t i forget
those summer evenings
he’d wait for me outside our small cafã©?
we were both like kids again
we had so much to say
why can’t i forget him?
it’s funny in a way

funny just remembering
the way we laughed at ev’rything
i found the one that i’d been waiting for
i could hardly recognize
the woman i was in his eyes,
a woman i had never known before

why can’t i forget
the way he touched me?
i see his face, desire in his eyes,
the smile he gave to no one else,
his silences and sighs
why can’t i forget
the way he loved me,
the way i loved him,
and the way he said goodbye?
