[00:08.64]This house and all these rooms
[00:10.68]
[00:11.76]Last christmas or last year
[00:15.12]
[00:16.60]Out back the dogwood blooms
[00:19.24]
[00:20.04]Do I really live here
[00:23.29]
[00:23.90]The paint the walls
[00:25.86]
[00:26.65]All this glass and wood
[00:28.87]You don't recall
[00:31.86]How I wish I could
[00:34.20]
[00:35.04]Our house on walton way
[00:37.16]
[00:38.47]The house with the red door
[00:41.58]
[00:43.30]Our trip to st tropez
[00:45.43]
[00:46.12]The whole week a downpour
[00:50.47]My first few steps
[00:53.16]And my first lost tooth
[00:55.72]What nothing yet
[00:58.74]To tell the truth
[01:00.97]
[01:01.66]Sing a song of forgetting
[01:05.39]
[01:06.38]A song of the way things were not
[01:10.10]
[01:10.85]Sing of what's lost to you
[01:14.33]
[01:15.85]Of times that you never knew
[01:20.63]
[01:22.89]Sing of not remembering when
[01:27.39]
[01:28.02]Of memories that go
[01:30.01]Unremembered and then
[01:33.27]
[01:33.90]Sing a song of forgetting again
[01:41.04]
[01:41.99]That day our child was born
[01:44.30]
[01:45.16]Our baby girl's first cry
[01:48.60]
[01:49.85]That grey and drizzly morn
[01:52.08]
[01:53.22]I've never felt so high
[01:57.20]The day we met
[01:59.19]
[01:59.74]And we shared two beers
[02:01.97]Then
[02:02.72]
[02:03.38]I forget
[02:05.16]But that's nineteen years
[02:07.69]
[02:09.16]What a lovely cure
[02:11.12]It's a medical miracle
[02:13.47]
[02:14.19]With a mind so pure
[02:16.31]That she doesn't know anything
[02:18.50]
[02:19.14]It's there I'm sure
[02:21.02]
[02:21.62]'Cause memories don't die
[02:23.37]Why
[02:26.90]They don't die
[02:28.99]I'll try
[02:32.43]
[02:33.59]Sing a song of forgetting
[02:37.63]
[02:38.41]A song of the way things were not
[02:42.04]
[02:42.94]Sing of what's lost to you
[02:46.12]
[02:48.09]Of times that you never knew
[02:52.40]
[02:54.82]Sing of not remembering when
[02:59.69]Of memories that go
[03:01.89]Unremembered and then
[03:05.87]Sing a song of forgetting
[03:08.68]Sing a song of forgetting
[03:11.44]Sing a song of forgetting
[03:16.07]
[03:17.43]Again
