You Won't Remember

An ordinary afternoon with a father who will not remember it. The park, the dog, ice cream, bad jokes. Golden hour doing its best work on the saddest song here.

Lyrics

(Ooh, ooh, ooh) I could take you to the park today Watch the dog spin in the sun Ice cream sliding down my hand We laugh at nothing just because we can But you won't remember I could tell you what I'm thinking Tiny fears, small victories Things I hide behind a quiet grin All the secrets saved for mornings like this But you won't remember I could clap just to scare you Tug your hair just to make you cry Spill your milk or throw your food Even then, you won't remember I could talk like we used to Tell a story, ask a question Offer a glance that once meant everything But you won't remember You reach for a word, a thought Catch it for a heartbeat then it drifts away Trying to hold water in your hands Remind you again and keep repeating Still you won't remember I search inside your puzzled face For who you used to be The smile, the spark, the voice that filled the room The warmth of yesterday I watch it melt away Am I also forgetting me? Every time I lose my keys You were so strong and now you're going So catch each memory fast Because they will not last I could show you everything All the small miracles today and tomorrow The beauty I notice, the jokes, the tears My rapture, pain, my hopes and fears I could spend my days just trying to break through But you won't remember (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
