How Could I Ever Forget?

[DIANA, spoken]
We used to play it for the baby
Sometimes it helped him sleep

[DAN, spoken DIANA, spoken]
Diana
Him
We did have a boy
Diana, you shouldn't

[DIANA, DAN, spoken]
We were still living downtown
It's not a good idea
My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown
You drove too fast, the lights of the city flew past
Please don't
How could I ever forget?
Outside the morning was cool and wet
He had such chills but still he lay there so still
And just eight months old
So cold
We ran him inside
Lost, worrying, wondering
That hospital room, that gloom

[DIANA & DAN]
How could I ever forget? (How could I ever forget?)
Screaming at doctors, alarmed, upset (God, I was so upset)
They said to wait (Diana, don't)
They never said we were too late (You think this will help but it won't)
But I was a child (So many years ago)
Raising a child (So much we could not know)

[DIANA]
Those weeks full of joy
Then a moment of dread
Someone simply said
Your child is–

[DAN]
How could I ever forget?

[DIANA]
How could I ever forget?

[DAN & DIANA]
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?

[DAN, spoken]
Why would you want to remember the things that hurt you?

[DIANA, spoken]
I want to remember everything, Dan
How did he die?

[DAN, spoken]
He was sick

[DIANA, spoken]
With what?
Why wasn't he treated? What was wrong?

[DAN]
Something the doctors all missed
The clinic, the ER, each specialist
They said, "Babies cry
Allergies, gas, who knows why?"
And I was a child
Raising a child
You stayed up all night
Most nights, you slept at his side
But still he just cried
And cried

[DIANA, spoken]
He was a baby when he died, but I remember him older

[DAN, spoken]
No, he was a baby, um
We should call Dr. Madden
