We were thrown into a snowbank Into this screaming night I heard the splintering of bones I heard the cries of pain and fright We had laughed and shared a kiss Mingled there our lives honey Doing ninety miles an hour When our train hit the ice Now I can't remember What was I so excited about I can't remember Why all the fuss and shout I can't remember Ah watch the ember going out We were joking about the club car's Noticeable bad taste The food was barely edible And the opulence and waste were simply astounding The pa**engers spent hours dismissing Rumors of their demise And it's true a little make-up Can make a corpse look fine But I can't remember I've been this way since birth I can't remember Who gives a rat's a** who is first
I can't remember Ah what is any of it worth I caught sight of a body In a coat that looked like yours And I called out your name darling But I guess you never heard me Instinctively I reached out And I pulled you near to me Sometimes God's grace won't let you look upon What you can't bear to see But I can't remember All the idols on parade I can't remember Buy low sell high trade away I can't remember Ah watch the embers die away I saw Jesus in the air Now there's a face that you can't miss I saw Him brush away the snowflakes And bestow on you a kiss He gathered you up in His arms God you looked so fine That white dress you were wearing darling Like a billion stars did shine
