Selective Memory

If I lay my head down

I will see you in my dream

Wearing that polka dot dress

And sitting by the stream

Leaning in to hear you

You will whisper in my ear

And everything I need to know

I finally hear

I wish I could remember

But my selective memory won't let me

When I was a baby

We would go out to the park

And sit out in the fountain

Splashing 'round until it's dark

The days go on forever

When you only know that much

And everything you need to know

Is answered with one touch

I wish I could remember

But my selective memory won't let me
