What You Don't Remember

I can still taste the soup you made
While I was home sick from school
I recall the day you taught me to swim
In our next door neighbor's pool

I saw you stand and applaud
When I was in my cap and gown
You still mean so much to me
But to you, I'm a stranger now

I won't forget what you don't remember
Each precious moment we spent together
You've been robbed of your memories
You slip further away from me
But my love for you will last forever
I won't forget what you don't remember

You cried when I walked down the aisle
As many mothers do
You were proud when you held your new grandson
Watched him as he grew

I won't forget what you don't remember
Each precious moment we spent together
You've been robbed of your memories
You slip further away from me
But my love for you will last forever
I won't forget what you don't remember

The light once in your eyes
Replaced with a blank stare
But in my mind are all the good times we shared

I won't forget what you don't remember
Each precious moment we spent together
You've been robbed of your memories
You slip further away from me
But my love for you will last forever
I won't forget what you don't remember
