Phil Va**ar - 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 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 pa**ion 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
