Why Can't I Remember You?

Lyrics

Composer: Roger D. Linder

That face it doesn't ring a bell
Your voice is merely sound
Your perfume's not a familiar smell
In my mind you are not found

Why can't I remember you?
That sweet smile, your eyes of blue
The long blond hair, the locks that curl
I can't recall you as a girl

You say you know me, that it's true
That we were friends, and lovers, too
At one time we'd shared our hearts
And time has made us grow apart

Why can't I remember you?
The way you walk, the stride I knew
I think way back, I draw a blank
It's more than passing time to thank

You try to share our moments past
But memories like that should last
I can't recall a single thing
That in my life your song should sing

It's not for lack of trying, though
It's not for lack of will
The more I look for times we had
The less I find and still

Why can't I remember you?
Not a sign, not a clue
A stranger you'll forever be
I don't think that you do know me
