Can'T Forget - A

I try to hold on, but it keeps slipping through It's drifting out of reach now; I don’t know what to do My memory's fading, everything I ever knew Every moment I have ever shared with you I try to remember your face down to the smallest detail I try and try in vain as time after time I fail My memories are fading, everything I ever knew But I try to deny it, claim it as untrue Your laugh no longer is clear in my memories as it once has been But still I search frantically, but not knowing where to begin I want to remember, oh God, I can't forget But its happening already, to my deepest regret I debate with myself day and night Over the color of your eyes in the morning light I argue and search and cry and scream Swearing and hoping that this is all a dream How can my memory be fading so fast Why can't I hold on to it? Why wont it last? Little by little, I lose fragments of my memory of our past I try to deny it, claim it as untrue My memories are fading, everything I ever knew Losing everything, everything I remember of you
