I CAN'T REMEMBER

RECORDED BY CONNIE SMITH



It was late and I was sleeping when he called

And I can't remember much he said at all

Just that he was leaving town and must get off the phone

I can't remember when he told me he'd be home

Did he say Sunday noon or one day soon

I think he left with them but what if he said am

Did they go to meet the train or leave to catch a plane

I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone

So I telephoned his house and asked his mom

If she'd knew where her little boy had gone

I know she must have told me and I heard her loud and clear

But I can't remember anything but tears

Did she say fishing trip or he gave you the slip

Is he off to see the world or to see antoher girl

Did she say he took the car or what a fool you are

I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone

I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone
