next to normal – song of forgetting lyrics

dan
this house and all these rooms
last christmas or last year
out back the dogwood blooms

,

diana
do i really live here?

,

dan
the paint, the walls
all this gl-ss and wood
you don’t recall?

,

diana
how i wish i could

,

dan
our house on walton way
the house with the red door
our trip to saint-tropez
the whole week of downpour

,

natalie
my first few steps
and my first lost tooth
what, nothing yet?

,

diana
to tell the truth….

,

dan
sing a song of forgetting
a song of the way things were not
sing if what’s lost to you
of times that you never knew

,

sing of not remembering when
of mem’ries that go unremembered and then
sing a song of forgetting
again

,

that day our child was born
our baby girl’s first cry
that grey and drizzly morn
i never felt so high

,

diana
the day we met and we shared two beers

,

dan
then?

,

diana
i forget

,

dan
but that’s nineteen years….

,

natalie
what a lovely cure
it’s a medical miracle
with a mind so pure
that she doesn’t know anything

,

dan
it’s there, i’m sure
’cause mem’ries don’t die

,

natalie
die

,

dan
they don’t die

,

natalie
they die

,

diana
i try

,

dan
sing a song of forgetting

,

natalie
sing a song of forgetting

,

diana
sing a song of forgetting

,

dan
a song of the way things were not

,

natalie
a song of the way things were not

,

diana
the way things were not

,

dan
sing of what’s lost to you

,

diana, natalie
what’s lost to you
what’s lost to you

,

dan
of times that you never knew

,

diana, natalie
what’s lost to you
you never knew

,

dan, diana, natalie
sing of not remembering when
of mem’ries that go unremembered and then

,

dan
sing a song of forgetting

,

natalie
sing a song of forgetting

,

diana
sing a song of forgetting

,

dan, diana, natalie
again…
