How Could I Ever Forget?

by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt

[DIANA]
We were still living downtown
My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown
You drove too fast, the lights of the city flew past
How could I ever forget?
Outside the morning was cool and wet
He had such chills but still he lay there so still
Just eighteen months old, so cold
We ran him inside lost, worrying, wondering
That hospital room, that gloom
How could I ever forget?
[DIANA]
But I was a child
[DAN]
So many years ago
[DIANA]
Raising a child
[DAN]
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?
