Lyrics: Brian Yorkey/Tom Kitt
Music: Tom Kitt
We were still living downtown
My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown
You drove too fast
The lights of the city flew past
How could I ever forget
Outside the morning was cool and wet
He had such chills
But still he lay there so still
Just eighteen months old
So cold
We ran him inside
Lost worrying wondering
That hospital room
That gloom
How could I ever forget
How could I ever forget
Screaming at doctors alarmed upset
God I was so upset
They said to wait
Diana don't
You never said we were too late
But I was a child
So many years ago
Raising a child
So much we could not know
Those weeks full of joy
Then a moment of dread
Someone simply said
Your child is
How could I ever forget
How could I ever forget
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
