Forgettin's So Long Lyrics - American Child - Phil Vassar

122, 59 Oak Drive 

Rolls off my tongue like a nursery rhyme 

Wooden numbers on the front of your house 

Where we fell in love 

Little things they stick in my mind 

Like they happened yesterday after all this time 

The way it turned out, I never would've thought 

I'd remember so much 

But why is my heart so weak and my memory so strong? 

Somebody give me one good reason, love is too short 

And forgettin's so long 

Somewhere, some day down the road maybe, I won't care 

But when something so right goes so wrong 

Love is too short and forgettin's so long 

Is there anyone who would please 

Tell me where's my checkbook and my car keys? 

If it wasn't sewn onto my shoulders 

I'd lost my head 

There's a whole lotta things I forget to do 

But I amaze myself when it comes to you 

I know nothin' 'bout now 

But I know plenty 'bout way back then 

When I think, I got it all behind me and I'm movin' along 

You're right there to remind me, love is too short 

And forgettin's so long 

Somewhere, some day down the road maybe I won't care 

But when something so right goes so wrong 

Love is too short and forgettin's so long 

Why is my heart so weak and my memory so strong? 

Somebody give me one good reason love is too short 

And forgettin's so long 

Somewhere, some day down the road maybe I won't care 

But when something so right goes so wrong 

Love is too short and forgettin's so long 

Why is my heart so weak and my memory so strong? 

Somebody give me one good reason love is too short 

And forgettin's so long 

Somewhere, some day down the road maybe I won't care 

But when something so right goes so wrong 

Love is too short and forgettin's so long 

Forgettin's so long 

Forgettin's so long 

So long, so long
