Next to Normal - Song of Forgetting Lyrics |
2009 Broadway Next to Normal the Musical - Song of Forgetting Lyrics
DAN (spoken) You don't remember any of this?
DIANA (spoken) I should, right?
DAN This house and all these rooms Last Christmas or last year Out back the Dogwood blooms
DIANA Do I really live here?
DAN The paint, the walls All this glass and wood You don't recall?
DIANA How I wish I could
DAN Our house on Walton Way The house with the red door Our trip to San Tropez The whole week a downpour
NATALIE My first few steps, and my first lost tooth What nothing yet?
DIANA Well to tell the truth
DAN Sing a song of forgetting A song of the way things were not Sing of what's lost to you The time that you never knew Sing of not remembering when Of memories that go unremembered and then Sing a song of forgetting, again
That day our child was born Our baby girl's first cry That gray and drizzly morn I've never felt so high
DIANA The day we met And we shared 2 beers
DAN Then?
DIANA I forget.
DAN But that's 18 years
DIANA (spoken) That Dr. Mitchell said there might be some memory loss.
DAN (spoken) Dr. Madden.
DIANA (spoken) Well, see, there you go.
NATALIE What a lovely cure It's a medical miracle With a mind so pure That she doesn't know anything
DAN It's there I'm sure Cause memories don't die. The don't die
NATALIE They die
(overlapping) DAN Sing a song of forgetting A song of the way things were not Sing of what's lost to you Of times that you never knew
(overlapping) NATALIE Sing a song of forgetting A song of the way things were not Sing of what's lost to you What's lost to you What's lost to you You never knew
(overlapping) DIANA Sing a song of forgetting A song of the way things were not Sing of what's lost to you What's lost to you What's lost to you You never knew
ALL Sing of not remembering when Of memories that go unremembered and when
DAN Sing a song of forgetting
NATALIE Sing a song of forgetting
DIANA Sing a song of forgetting
ALL Again
