Besedila: Phil Vassar. American Child. Forgettin's So Long.

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
