Track 03 ยท Sunny Side Up
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)
