How Could I Ever Forget?

Lyrics

[DIANA, spoken] We used to play it for the baby Sometimes it helped him sleep [DAN, spoken DIANA, spoken] Diana Him We did have a boy Diana, you shouldn't [DIANA, DAN, spoken] We were still living downtown It's not a good idea My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown You drove too fast, the lights of the city flew past Please don't How could I ever forget? Outside the morning was cool and wet He had such chills but still he lay there so still And just eight months old So cold We ran him inside Lost, worrying, wondering That hospital room, that gloom [DIANA & DAN] How could I ever forget? (How could I ever forget?) Screaming at doctors, alarmеd, upset (God, I was so upset) They said to wait (Diana, don't) Thеy never said we were too late (You think this will help but it won't) But I was a child (So many years ago) Raising a child (So much we could not know) [DIANA] Those weeks full of joy Then a moment of dread Someone simply said Your child is– [DAN] How could I ever forget? [DIANA] How could I ever forget? [DAN & DIANA] This was the moment my life was set That day that I lost you It's clear as the day we met How could I ever forget? [DAN, spoken] Why would you want to remember the things that hurt you? [DIANA, spoken] I want to remember everything, Dan How did he die? [DAN, spoken] He was sick [DIANA, spoken] With what? Why wasn't he treated? What was wrong? [DAN] Something the doctors all missed The clinic, the ER, each specialist They said, "Babies cry Allergies, gas, who knows why?" And I was a child Raising a child You stayed up all night Most nights, you slept at his side But still he just cried And cried [DIANA, spoken] He was a baby when he died, but I remember him older [DAN, spoken] No, he was a baby, um We should call Dr. Madden
