I Can't Forget

I forget to laugh, I just cry

I forget my manners now and then, like thank you, God Bless you, and even amen 

I can't remember what it was that kept that smile, perched upon my face

Why I went to work or to church

I sit around a lot and stare out into space

I forget to wash the  tears, away from my eyes

I forget why I get up and come to this bar; I just do it again and again

I forget to clean it, almost every morning

I forget why it is that they keep me on here, my they are kind people

I wonder if I will ever win this rat race?

Now I remember, I own it

Oh, how depressing

I most often times forget, where I am and what it was I was doing

I guess I will be going to Satan's place, well its got to be better then

This Patrons Place

My spark it has gone out; my its getting dark in here

I forgot to forget, you 

My dear
