Short-Term Memory Loss

[Verse] The guy next door's goin' bald and He seems like he's older than Paul McCartney And everybody knows that it's all downhill from there Your hair will turn gray Your eyes will turn blue And the memories you had of me and you will fade And it won't matter what we had anyway 'Cause you won't even remember my name Hey It's not that you're to blame [Chorus] You're just gettin' old and that's just the way it goes I would hate to say it But you know what they say That the mind's the first to go It's the only thing you'll never know It's not like you would notice anyway [Verse 2] I know it feels strange to not remember your name But you'll get used to it and you'll be okay And now you say Hey You look familiar But your name escapes me And I say "That's okay Because we're only dating And it's not like you would know it anyway" I hope that I can say [Chorus] That when we're both old That you'll still be my beau I'd like to think that I'll be with you 'til my dying day And when the Reaper's scythe swings low At least I know you'll never know It's not like you would notice anyway [Bridge] I know you said you would stay And that we would be okay But Babe I'm afraid that you forgot to say That you would not remember my name [Chorus] That when we're both old That you'll still be my beau I'd like to think that I'll be with you 'til my dying day And when the Reaper's scythe swings low At least I know you'll never know It's not like you would notice anyway [Outro] Not like you would notice It's not like you would notice Not like you would notice It's not like you would notice anyway
