Hank Snow - If I Could Just Remember What I Can't Forget lyrics

(Arthur Leo Owens - Judy Vowell)

An early mornin' kiss with a touch of tenderness

Is the way that you used to start my day

But your forgetfulness fills me with an emptiness

That makes me wonder why you've changed your ways.

You'll never know how lonesome it's been

Waiting for you to be your old self again

Our sweet and tender times have completely slipped your mind

Cause you can't find one memory to forget

Baby you couldn't feel this way about all our yesterdays

If you could just remember what I can't forget.

--- Guitar - fiddle - steel Instrumental ---

I still remember when every night used to begin

With love when love was more than just a word

Before this hopelessness took the place of happiness

When don't touch me were words I never heard.

You'll never know how lonesome it's been

Waiting for you to be your old self again

Our sweet and tender times have completely slipped your mind

Cause you can't find one memory to forget

Baby you couldn't feel this way about all our yesterdays

If you could just remember what I can't forget...
