Remember? Songtext
von Tom Rush

I′m lookin' for my wallet and my car keys
Well, they can′t have gone too far
And just as soon as I find my glasses
I'm sure I'll see just where they are
I′m supposed to meet someone for lunch today
But I can′t remember where
Or who it is that I am meeting
It's in my organizer somewhere
I might have left it on the counter
Or maybe outside in the car
Last time I remember driving
Was to that memory enhancement seminar
What′s that far off distant ringing
And that strangely familiar tone?
Must be the person I am meeting
Calling me on my brand new cordless telephone
I might have left it under the covers Or maybe outside on the lawn
I've got just one more ring to go
Before my answering machine kicks on
"Hi, this is Tom. Your call means a lot to me
So leave a message at the tone
And I′ll do my best to try to remember
To call you back when I get home"
Beep!
"Tom, this is Gwendolyn
And I'm trying not to cry
But I′ve been waiting here for over an hour
I thought you loved me, this is goodbye"
Well, the voice sounds familiar
And the name, it rings a bell
Let's see now, where was I?
Oh well
