Sometimes I am sure my mind's defective
Thoughts are draining out my head like water from a sieve
As years go by my memory's more selective
The less that I remember and the longer that I live
So I can't recall just what I had for dinner
Sometimes I don't even know my name
But there is precious little doubt
In this precious little mind
Of one thing...I won't forget you

The brain has space for things that are important
Isn't there a word for that? I think I used to know
Time's our judge, emotion's our informant
And memories are imprisoned till the dullest overflow
So I can't recall just how this whole thing started
But I sure do know exactly how it ends
There is precious little doubt
In this precious little mind
Of one thing...
I won't forget

Some strips of time are indelible
Forever etched into our minds
Vivid moments stretching in a long straight line
Like when the lights go down
Or the countdown starts
And the crowd is hushed
Except the beating of your heart
Goes on and on
Till it's time to crash or fly
But that's just when you fled
The moment burns inside my head
How could I forget you?

Anger burns much brighter than affection
And a raging mind is like a trap of steel
I will keep you there inside
As a flame behind my eyes
It will blaze and it will burn
To keep the memory alive
And there is precious little doubt
In this precious little mind
Of one thing...I won't forget you
