Never Forgotten: Memories of Love and Lost Names
Lyrics
He walked up to me at the honky tonk
He approached me at the honky tonk.
Asked me how I'd been since he'd been gone
He inquired about my well-being since his departure.
And had I found the strength to carry on
He asked if I had found the strength to move forward.
He hoped that I could forgive and forget
Expressing hope for forgiveness and forgetting past grievances.
And could we still be friends I said you bet
I assured him that we could still be friends.
While I wondered where and when we'd met
While pondering where and when our paths crossed before.
I hope that I once loved him like he claims
I hope that I once loved him as he claims.
Yeah I never will forget whats his name
Underscoring the unforgettable nature of the person, despite forgetting the name.
Whats his name
Repeating the uncertainty about the person's identity.
It's right on the tip of my tongue and the edge of my brain
Expressing the frustration of not recalling the name.
Whats his name
Reiterating the desire to remember the name.
Wish I could feel the flicker of that old flame
Wishing for the return of the emotions associated with the past.
He's awful cute he must've been worth the pain
Admiring the person's attractiveness despite the pain caused.
Oh I never will forget whats his name
Emphasizing the enduring memory of the person despite forgetting the name.
As the waitress looked at his ID
Observing the details on the person's identification as the waitress checks.
I nearly broke my neck to sneak a peek
Expressing eagerness to catch a glimpse of the information.
I kinda think his first name starts with be
Speculating on the person's first name starting with 'be'.
He kissed my cheek and said goodbye
Recalling a farewell kiss on the cheek.
And told me I should call him up sometime
Being told to call him sometime in the future.
If I can ever leave the past behind
Expressing the difficulty of leaving the past behind.
I said it won't be easy but I'll find a way
Promising to find a way to move on despite the challenges.
Yeah I never will forget whats his name
Reiterating the enduring memory of the person despite forgetting the name.
Whats his name...
Repeating the uncertainty about the person's identity.
Oh whats his name...
Reiterating the frustration of not recalling the name.
