Artist/Band: Hank Snow
Lyrics for Song: If I Could Just Remember What I Can't Forget
Lyrics for Album: No. 104 - Still Movin' On [RCA Victor] [1977]



(Arthur Leo Owens - Judy Vowell)



An early mornin' kiss with a touch of tenderness

Is the way that you used to start my day

But your forgetfulness fills me with an emptiness

That makes me wonder why you've changed your ways.



You'll never know how lonesome it's been

Waiting for you to be your old self again

Our sweet and tender times have completely slipped your mind

Cause you can't find one memory to forget

Baby you couldn't feel this way about all our yesterdays

If you could just remember what I can't forget.



--- Guitar - fiddle - steel Instrumental ---



I still remember when every night used to begin

With love when love was more than just a word

Before this hopelessness took the place of happiness

When don't touch me were words I never heard.



You'll never know how lonesome it's been

Waiting for you to be your old self again

Our sweet and tender times have completely slipped your mind

Cause you can't find one memory to forget

Baby you couldn't feel this way about all our yesterdays

If you could just remember what I can't forget...


If I Could Just Remember What I Can't Forget

Hank Snow, the legendary Canadian-born country star known as the Yodeling Ranger, delivered a career spanning decades with this reflective track. Recorded for his 1977 album Still Movin' On, the song captures the enduring melancholy that defined much of Snow's later work. As a master of the honky-tonk and traditional country styles, Snow maintained a consistent presence in the genre long after his initial rise to fame in the 1940s. This recording stands as a testament to his ability to craft emotionally resonant narratives without relying on flashy production. The track fits seamlessly into his extensive discography, showcasing the timeless appeal of his songwriting and vocal delivery. It remains a significant song in the catalogue of one of country music's most respected figures, offering listeners a glimpse into the persistent themes of memory and loss that characterized his artistry.
