Belated

you know that I'm forgetful
i forget so many things
i couldn't find the pencil
it was right there in my hand
i forgot to call you yesterday
i forgot again today
i'm not much of a keeper
of dates and times and things

i wonder what it is you're thinking
i wonder what you wore today
i wonder what it is you're dreaming
i want to be there today
with you

i know that it's your birthday
and i didn't buy a thing
i'd like to buy you diamonds
or take you out for drinks
i'm just so forgetful
i'm selfish, hard and proud
but when i make it back to you
i'll make it up somehow

i wonder what it is you're thinking
i wonder what you wore today
i wonder what it is you're dreaming
i want to be there today
with you
