And I Forgot The Words

I got up on stage

The bright lights on my face

People looking- like I’m in a cage

Suddenly one swings a large mace

I begin to remember

I continue with the song

People about to dismember

I won’t last very long

CHORUS: And I forgot the words

The words are no longer there

They flew from my mind like birds

And no one seemed to care

It’s a good thing I played jazz

I learned how to improvise

So now I can make up pizazz

And still look in your eyes

The song is long gone

What was once there is no more

Like a freshly mowed lawn

Strewn all over, a great big chore

CHORUS

The crowd is confused

What just happened?

‘He’s lost it’ one mused

This show was poorly captained

It comes to a close

It lived a life all it’s own

Running all over like a cold nose

In the distance there is a moan

CHORUS (2x)
