Bilingual
We used to play it for the baby
Sometimes it helped him sleep
Diana...
Him. We did have a boy
Diana, you shouldn't...
We were still living downtown
It's not a good idea...
My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown
You drove too fast
The lights of the city flew past
Please don't...
How could I ever forget?
Outside, the morning was cool and wet
He had such chills, but still he lay there so still
And just eight months old
So cold
We ran him inside
Lost, worrying, wondering
That hospital room
That gloom
How could I ever forget?
How could I ever forget?
Screaming at doctors
Alarmed, upset
They said, "Too late"
God, I was so upset
I hear them: "Don't you think this will help, but it won't"
They never said we were too late
But I was a child
So many years ago
Raising a child
So much we could not know
Those weeks full of joy
And then the moment of dread
Someone simply said
"Your child is-
How could I ever forget?
How could I ever forget?
This was the moment my life was set
The day that I lost you
It's clear as the day we met
How could I ever forget?
Why would you want to remember the things that hurt you?
I want to remember everything, Dan. How did he die?
He was sick
With what? Why wasn't he treated? What was wrong?
Something the doctors all missed
The clinic, the ER, each specialist
They said, "Babies cry
Allergies, gas, who knows why?"
And I was a child
Raising a child
We stayed up all night
Most nights you slept at his side
Oh, god...
And still he just cried
And cried
He was a baby when he died, but I remember him older
No, he was a baby. Um... we should call Dr. Madden
