I Don't Remember You / Sometimes A Day Goes By
John Owen-Jones & Bryn Terfel
John:
I don't remember you.
I don't remember you.
I don't recall a single thing
We used to say or do.
What dancing in the park?
What laughter in the dark?
What smouldering fireplace?
That lit your face with every spark?
And if I left you once before,
Somehow I can't recall it anymore.
That was another girl.
You're not at all like her.
Though for an instant,
When you touched me,
I believed you were.
But I was wrong!
This moment is new
Because I can't, I won't,
I don't remember you.
That was another time,
Another time and place.
Although you bear a faint resemblance;
You're another face.
Yes, I was wrong!
This moment is new
Because I can't, I won't,
I don't remember you.
Bryn:
Sometimes a day goes by
One whole entire day
When I don't think of her
Twenty-four hours pass
I look around and find
That I haven't thought of her
Not even when I'm somewhere
We used to go
Not even if that's someone
We used to know
It's hardly everyday
It's most unusual
In fact, I can't remember when
But sometimes a day goes by
When I don't think of her
'Til morning comes and then
There she is again
John & Bryn:
I don't remember you.
I don't remember you.
(Sometimes a day goes by)
I don't remember you.
(One whole entire day
When I haven't thought of her)
I don't recall a single thing
We used to say or do.
(Not even when I'm somewhere)
And if I left you once before,
(We used to go
Not even if that's someone)
Somehow I can't recall it anymore.
(We used to know)
That was another girl.
(It's hardly every day)
You're not at all like her.
(It's most unusual
In fact, I can't remember when)
Though for an instant,
I believed you were.
But I was wrong!
(But sometimes a day goes by)
This moment is new
(When I don't think of her
'Til morning comes and then)
I can't remember you,
I won't remember you,
(There she is again)
I don't remember you.
