I Forgot Lyrics

This pillow's flat

These sheets are cold

My family's all around

My disease is just I'm very old

Soon I'm moving to the ground

But now I can't remember

The lines that I once penned

When I was 23, I wrote

What I'd say now at the end

And I forgot

Yes I forgot

And how could I forget the single most important thing

At the single most important point

Of this important day

They're thinking is it seconds, is it minutes, is it hours

And I'm thinking

What the heck was it that I was gonna say

It was something about satellites

And flowers, babies, human rights

It was so eloquently said

It was somewhat allegorical

A metaphor, rhetorical

And now it's gone right out of my head

It had the proper mix of cute

And meaningful and charm

I'd sound brave, sharp, and astute

While my wife cried on my arm

The pressure's on, I'm going fast

I accept, the time is mine

But I planned so far back in the past

And now I'm playing What's My Line

Cause now I can't remember

But the words are almost there

It combined the grace of Keats or Poe

With the flair of Moliere

And I forgot

Yes I forgot

And how could I forget the single most important thing

At the single most important point

Of this important day

They're thinking is it seconds, is it minutes, is it hours

And I'm thinking

What the heck was it that I was gonna say

It was something about satellites

And flowers, babies, human rights

It was so eloquently said

It was somewhat allegorical

A metaphor, rhetorical

And now it's gone right out of my head

Cause I forgot

Yes I forgot

It was something about satellites

And flowers, babies, human rights

It was so eloquently said

It was somewhat allegorical

A metaphor, rhetorical

And now it's gone right out of my head
