I Thought I Never Would Forget Lyrics

I Thought I Never Would Forget lyrics

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 where's 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 where's 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
