How Could I Ever Forget?

We were still living downtown
My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown
You drove too fast, the lights of the city flew past.

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.

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.

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.

Someone simply said, Your child is
How could I ever forget?
How could I ever forget?
This was.

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?
