I've Forgotten Everything

'...I get along without you very well'   (Hoagy Carmichael.  1939)
 

I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name.
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang.

The memories are hazy now
I don't recall at all
There's nothing
There's nothing there
Just me
And I don't understand why.

I can't recollect my feelings
'til someone mentions that they saw you
I really don't remember all the things you said
'til someone shows me where you live.

I can't recall your smile
The touch of your hand holding mine
And I can't remember why
Holding you seemed so right.

Why is everything so hazy now?
I don't recall at all
There's nothing
There's nothing there
Just me
And I don't understand why

I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name.
I've forgotten all those reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang.

Still feel so melancholy.  Some lyrics just touch me and I have to share.
