How Could I Ever Forget? Lyricsby Alice Ripley. From Next To Normal How Could I Ever Forget? by Alice Ripley GABE (humming) DAN (spoken) What are you doing? DIANA (spoken) What is this? DAN (spoken) Where'd you get that? It's nothing, an old music box. DIANA (spoken) It's the first thing you gave me. DAN (spoken) Diana. DIANA (spoken) When I was pregnant. DAN (spoken) You, you don't need to. DIANA (spoken) The first time. The first time? DAN (spoken) Diana, you, you shouldn't. DIANA We were still living downtown DAN (spoken) You shouldn't. DIANA My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown You drove too fast, the lights of the city flew past DAN (spoken) Please, don't. DIANA How could I ever forget? Outside the morning was cool and wet He had such chills but still He lay there so still Just 18 months old, so cold We ran him inside Lost, worrying, wondering That hospital room, that gloom (overlapping) How could I ever forget? Screaming at doctors Alarmed, upset They said too wait They never said we were too late But I was a child raising a child Those weeks full of joy, then a moment of dread DAN (overlapping) How could I ever forget? I was so upset Diana don't You think this will help but it won't So many years ago So much we could not know DIANA Someone simply said, Your child is DAN How could I ever forget? DIANA How could I ever forget? DAN This was BOTH the moment my life was set That day that I lost you It's clear as the day we met How could I ever forget? DAN (spoken) Why would you want to remember the things that hurt you? DIANA (spoken) I want to remember everything Dan. How did he die? Why? Why?! DAN (spoken) Diana, we didn't know. He was sick. But even the doctors missed it. We took him to the clinic, the specialist, the ER in the middle of the night. They said he had food allergies. They said babies cry. We stayed up every night. You slept in his room but he cried and he cried. DIANA (spoken) Until one morning he stopped. DAN (spoken) That's enough. DIANA (spoken) He was a baby when he died, but I remember him much older. DAN (spoken) We should call Dr. Madden.
