Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
You've gone and you're not coming back
And it's hard to believe you're still not here
What's left behind disputes that fact
[Verse 2]
You closet's still full of your clothes and your shoes
And your bookcase still holds all your books
It's as if all you done was to go out of town
You'll be back soon, that's just how it looks
[Verse 3]
But your suitcase is empty, it's right here in the hall
That's not even the strangest thing
Why would you leave your wallet behind?
Your glasses, your wristwatch, and ring
Your glasses, your wristwatch, and ring
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
And that we'll never see you again
I think for a moment, "I've gotta give him a call"
But I can't, now I realize that
[Verse 5]
No, we can't meet for lunch at the usual place
The place where we always would go
And there was something I wanted to tell you so bad
Something I knew that you'd want to know
[Verse 6]
Oh, I could go by myself to our old haunt
But that seems such a strange thing to do
The waiters would wonder what was going on
Why weren't you there? Where were you?
Why weren't you there? Where were you?
[Verse 7]
Sometimes, I forget that you've gone
I remember and I feel the ache
How could it have happened? How could it be?
It's not true, there must be some mistake
[Verse 8]
Mementos and memories, tell me, what good are they?
No, they're not much to have and to hold
And it's true that you're gone and you're not coming back
And this world seems so empty and cold
[Verse 9]
But sometimes something happens
And it doesn't seem strange
You're not far away, you're near
Sometimes, I forget that you have gone
Sometimes, it feels like you're right here
Right now, it feels like you're right here
