Haven'T You Forgotten Something
HAVEN'T YOU FORGOTTEN SOMETHING
Haven't you forgotten something
A voice spoke to me within my mind
Was it being ferocious or being kind
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
Now to me in a more determined shout
That definitely had itself more clout
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
Did I forget something in my own haste
I stare into nothingness, my mind cased
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
Within the voice continued to persist
What is it that I've so importantly missed
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
What comes to me as unknown faces
And now to be entirely unknown places
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
Reminisce of memories I can no longer find
Once beautifully articulated, now to it so blind
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
Staring into nothingness, nothingness in return
As each and every memory disappears in its turn
Haven't you forgotten something
Haven't you forgotten something
The unknown faces there helping me to remind
Alzheimer's, how could you have been, so unkind
Haven't you forgotten something
