Song of Forgetting Lyrics by Jennifer Damiano

Next to Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2009

[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
Of times 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 two beers
[DAN]
Then?
[DIANA]
I forget
[DAN]
But that's nineteen years
[NATALIE]
What a lovely cure
It's a medical miracle
With a mind so pure
That she doesn't know anything
[DAN, NATALIE, & DIANA]
It's there, I'm sure
'Cause memories don't die Why?
They don't die They die I'll try...
Sing a song of forgetting Sing a song of forgetting Sing a song of forgetting
A song of the way things were not A song of the way things were not The way things were not
Sing of what's lost to you What's lost to you What's lost to you
What's lost to you What's lost to you Of times that you never knew
What's lost to you You never knew
You never knew You never knew
[DAN, DIANA, & NATALIE]
Sing of not remembering when
Of memories that go unremembered and then
[DAN]
Sing a song of forgetting
[NATALIE]
Sing a song of forgetting
[DIANA]
Sing a song of forgetting...
[DAN, DIANA, & NATALIE]
Again
