Before I Forget

You don’t seem to know me like you used to
You look right through me when I’m here
Your perfect memory’s getting’ hazy
Name by name, folks (friends) disappear

Maybe it’s my imagination
But I still swear once in a while
I can see that ol’ sparkle in your blue eyes
Soak up the sunshine of your smile

So before I forget
I want to tell you that I love you
Before I forget
I want to say how much I care
And it might not mean as to you as it used to
But it needs to be said
Before I forget

We never talked much about the future
Now it’s right here in the room
And what Bette Davis said ‘bout growin’ old
Well, we just never dreamed it’d come so soon

So before I forget
I want to tell you that I love you
Before I forget
I want to say how much I care
And it might not mean as to you as it used to
But it needs to be said
Before I forget
