Phil Vassar - I Thought I Never Would Forget

Phil Vassar

I Thought I Never Would Forget

I went back in time today a box I thought
I'd thrown away
Had fallen off the basement shelf,
I tripped and almost hurt myself
Scattered there across the floor
A New Year's Eve hat from '94
Ticket stubs to Billy Joel and pictures
From the Sugar Bowl
Some of these souvenirs I remember
Mostly I don't
It's funny how time reduces a keepsake
To a footnote

The wheres and the whens that meant
So much then
Have gracefully moved along
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on
Considering everything you meant I thought
I never would forget

Here's us dancing on your birthday
July 29th or 28th
The song was "Always and Forever,"
I'm not sure but I remember
That's the night we first made love
The passion captured both of us
It held us, then it set us free,
This is all that's left of you and me
A cardboard treasure chest with a diary
Of two lovers
Now it's a dusty old box no different
From the others

The wheres and the whens that meant
So much then
Have gracefully moved along
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on
Considering everything you meant I thought
I never would forget

My memory had mercy on me and let me go on
Considering everything you meant I thought
I never would forget

Mirror lyrics:

I never would forget
Considering everything you meant I thought
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on

I never would forget
Considering everything you meant I thought
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on
Have gracefully moved along
So much then
The wheres and the whens that meant

From the others
Now it's a dusty old box no different
Of two lovers
A cardboard treasure chest with a diary
This is all that's left of you and me
It held us, then it set us free,
The passion captured both of us
That's the night we first made love
I'm not sure but I remember
The song was "Always and Forever,"
July 29th or 28th
Here's us dancing on your birthday

I never would forget
Considering everything you meant I thought
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on
Have gracefully moved along
So much then
The wheres and the whens that meant

To a footnote
It's funny how time reduces a keepsake
Mostly I don't
Some of these souvenirs I remember
From the Sugar Bowl
Ticket stubs to Billy Joel and pictures
A New Year's Eve hat from '94
Scattered there across the floor
I tripped and almost hurt myself
Had fallen off the basement shelf,
I'd thrown away
I went back in time today a box I thought
