Forget I Said Anything

Do you recall the first time that I spoke
Words all a jumble escaping my throat
Turned to each other said one thing we know
We’ll always remember this day

Money was tight but you knew all the tricks
Can’t think of anything you couldn’t fix
Seems like the tables have turned pretty quick
Now it’s all slipping away

So tough to stay patient and ready
You asked my name it made your heart sink
I don’t mean to make make it so heavy
Forget I said anything

Think back to high school when I had it made
And I would do pretty much whatever you’d say
Strange that I’m giving the orders today
Wish there was more I could do

So tough to stay patient and ready
You asked my name it made your heart sink
I don’t mean to make make it so heavy
Forget I said anything

You’ll always be the one who taught me
That even a child can stand up and lead
But how will I smile and keep keep in’ on
Hard to stay strong when you’re almost gone
