All I want to do is forget

All I want to do is forget

Forget that horrible night 
The pain that was caused 
The goodbyes that were said 
 
I want to forget the tears 
Forget that horrible drive
The pain I felt on the inside 
The running up the stairs 
 
I want to forget the faces
Forget all the mourning 
The pain when we let you go 
The whimpers that were hard to hear
 
But I don’t want to forget 
The joy of when you were born 
The laughter of your silly faces 
The way you smiled 
 
I don’t wanna forget 
The news you’d be getting out of the hospital 
The joy we all felt 
But then we got the phone call
 
All we wanted to do was to forget 
They said you wouldn’t make it 
They said it was just a matter of time 
They performed C.P.R. 
 
All they wanted to do was to forget 
Forget when they said to stop 
The scream that was heard down to the first floor
The way they carried the little body away 
 
All I want to do is forget 
Forget the prayer I had prayed 
The one to let you go home soon 
God seemed to take it literal 
Because he took you home to Heaven that night 
 
All I want to do is forget 
That painful night of your passing 
I didn’t ever think I’d let you go 
But now I’m saying goodbye 
 
I won’t ever forget 
Forget that night of pain and torture
The night you had passed 
The night you went home 
 
I won’t ever forget 
Forget the first & last time I’d get to hold you 
The way you had that little smile 
The way you looked like you were sleeping 
 
I won’t ever forget 
Forget knowing you were only 5 months & 13 days 
The feeling I know that you were there 
The night of July 12, 2013 
 
I won’t ever forget
