I Forget

Hi, I'd like you to meet my mom
But there's no sense in introducing yourself
She'll only forget who you are in two or three minutes from now
You see, she's got Alzheimer's disease
It's eating away those memories
Too bad cause that's all she's got oh, but not for long
What was that you said? Who did you say you were?
Where did you say you are? How did wee get here, how?
She walks around in a daze
This disease has deadened her brain
It'll soon deaden the rest of her
So in a way she'll kind of die twice
I know this may sound selfish of me
But I'd like to put her out of her misery
Sometimes I wish I had this disease
So I too could forget her grief
So now you've met my mom
And I hope you enjoyed yourself
She's already forgotten who you are
And she asks the same questions again
You see, she's got Alzheimer's disease
It's eating away those memories
Her friends say she looks her best
Now she even forgets to forget
