Where did I put my keys?

lyrics

verse 1
I’m looking at
this photograph
of you and i
having a laugh
please pardon me
for being daft
but your name
somehow escapes me

i don’t know how
but i can tell
that we both knew
each other well
deep down i know
it should ring a bell
but my memory,
it forsakes me

chorus
i wish i knew
how to explain
these feelings that somehow remain
each time i try its all in vain
i don’t remember

verse 2
this picture book
spans so many years
it tells a tale,
that much is clear
it makes me want
to shed a tear
for alone
i must remain

a photo of
the night we wed
a newborn child being fed
a girl of six jumping on a bed
they’re all strangers just the same


chorus
Its obvious
at least to me
that we have shared a history
its become a mystery
like a half forgotten dream

i wish i knew
how to explain
these feelings that somehow remain
each time i try its all in vain
i don’t remember

bridge
Perhaps tomorrow, I'll wake and find

Your name, your face, are on my mind

But if the dawn brings no such clue
these photographs will have to do

verse 3
as i sit here in my quiet room,
theres the subtle scent
of someone’s perfume
which makes me yearn
i don’t know for whom
could it be someone
i was kissing

a closet full of ladies clothes
whose they are only heaven knows
ticket stubs from a broadway show
i feel something is missing

chorus
Its obvious
at least to me
that we have shared a history
but it remains a mystery
like a half forgotten dream

i wish i knew
how to explain
why these feelings still remain
each time i try its all in vain
i cant remember
