Lyrics
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 café? 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?
