forgettin's so long

one twenty-two fifty nine oak drive

rolls off my tongue like a nursery rhyme

wooden numbers on the front of your house

where we fell in love

little things they stick in my mind

like they happened yesterday after all this time

the way it turned out

i never would've thought

i'd remember so much

but why is my heart so weak

and my memory so strong

somebody give me one good reason

love is too short

and forgettin's so long

somewhere

someday down the road maybe i won't care

but when something so right goes so wrong

love is too short and forgettin's so long

is there anyone who would please

tell me where's my checkbook and my car keys

if it wasn't sewn onto my shoulders

i'da lost my head

well there's a whole lotta things i forget to do

but i amaze myself when it comes to you

i know nothin' 'bout now

but i know plenty 'bout way back then

'cause when i think i got it all behind me

and i'm movin' along

you're right there to remind me

love is too short

and forgettin's so long

somewhere

someday down the road maybe i won't care

but when something so right goes so wrong

love is too short and forgettin's so long

but why is my heart so weak and my memory so strong

somebody give me one good reason love is too short

and forgettin's so long

somewhere

someday down the road maybe i won't care

but when something so right goes so wrong

love is too short and forgettin's so long

forgettin's so long

forgettin's so long
