Sometimes I Forget
Loudon Wainwright III

Sometimes I forget that you've gone

You've gone, and you're not coming back

And it's hard to believe that you're still not here

What's left behind, disputes that fact


And your bookcase still holds all your books

It's as if all you've done is go out of town

You'll be back soon, that's just how it looks

But your suitcase is empty, it's right here in the hall

That's not even the strangest thing

Why would you leave your wallet behind

Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring

Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring


Sometimes I forget that you've gone

That we'll never see you again

I think for a moment, I've got to give him a all

But I can't now I realize that

No we can't meet for lunch at the usual place

The place where we always would go

And there was something I wanted to tell you so bad

Something I knew that you'd want to know

I could go by myself to our old haunt

That seems like such a strange thing to do

The waiters would wonder what was going on

Why weren't you there, where were you

Why weren't you there, where were you


Sometimes I forget that you've gone

I remember and I feel the ache

How could it have happened, how could it be

It's not true, there must be some mistake

Momentos, memories, tell me what good are they

No they're not much to have and to hold

And it's true that you're gone,

And you're not coming back

And this world seems so empty and cold

But sometimes things happen,

It doesn't seem strange

You're not far away, you're near

Sometimes I forget that you've gone

Sometimes it feels like you're right here

Right now it feels like you're right here
