How Could I Ever Forget?

We used to play it for the baby

Sometimes it helped him sleep

Diana... Him!

We did have a boy

Diana, you shouldn't

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

How could I ever forget? How could I ever forget?

Screaming at doctors

God, I was so upset Alarmed, upset

They said to wait Diana, don't

You think this will help but it won't They 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?

Why would you want to remember the things that hurt you?

I want to remember everything, Dan

How did he die?

He was sick

With what?

Why wasn't he treated? What was wrong?

Something the doctors all missed

(singing)

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

He was a baby when he died, but i remember him older

No, he was a baby, Um...

We should go see Dr. Madden
