I Don't Remember Christmas

I was standing in the bedroom

When it suddenly came clear

That at last I don't remember

That at one time you were here

All that stuff that used to haunt me

Like your robe behind the door

For the first time I don't notice

That they're not here anymore

And I don't remember summer

I do not remember fall

So it's possible December

Never happened after all

Did we trim the tree together?

I can't get the image through

'Cause I don't remember Christmas

And I don't remember you

Later on to my astonishment

I did not feel a tug

When I walked into the living room

And saw that sheepskin rug

All those pesky little echoes

They're all gone without a trace

It was good to know I could grow

Unaccustomed to your face

'Cause I don't remember Easter

Or the rainy day we met

Did we really have some good times?

Come on, tell me, I forget

Did I think that you were springtime?

It's all vanished in the blue

'Cause I don't remember Christmas

And I don't remember you

If she wants to leave you, well, let her

Says a practical voice in my head

Any sensible man would forget her

Forget her, forget her

So Thanksgiving never happened

And Bermuda is a blur

And I'm not the type to waste time

Over things that never were

Were you really my obsession

'Til our ship of pleasure sank?

No, I guess I must have dreamt you

'Cause the whole year is a blank

And I don't remember crying

And I can't recall your touch

'Cause I'd never be so stupid

As to open up so much

Did I really say, "I need you?"

No, the words just don't ring true

'Cause I don't remember talking

And I don't remember laughing

And I don't remember wanting

And I don't remember needing

I do not remember April

I do not remember Tuesday

And I don't remember Christmas

And I don't remember you!
