Story Behind The Song

I believe I forgot it

Song Description

an ode to memory loss as we age

Lyrics

My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke

I often walk into a room, and say, "Why am I here?"
Then I go on out, then back in, hopin' it will be clear
For when I'm "here" I'm wondering, if I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer!

REPEAT CHORUS

At times I put something away, where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from is, you got it, me!
When shopping I may see someone, say! "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away, I ask myself, "who was that?"
Repeat CHO

you can call it a senior moment, call it a slip of the mind
can anybody here please tell me, when'd my brain start to unwind?

I go to get some milk and bread, from the grocery store
Come home with 20 things, except what I went there for
Forgot what was dinner yesterday, so I made it again tonight
Forgettin' to remember to forget, it takes all my might!

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke
