DAN
This house and all these rooms
Last Christmas or last year
Out back the dogwood blooms
DIANA
Do I really live here?
DAN
The paint, the walls
All this glass and wood
You don't recall?
DIANA
How I wish I could
DAN
Our house on Walton Way
The house with the red door
Our trip to San Tropez
The whole week a downpour
NATALIE
My first few steps, and my first lost tooth
What nothing yet?
DIANA
Well to tell the truth
NATALIE (spoken)
Jesus.
DAN
Sing a song of forgetting
A song of the way things were not
Sing of what's lost to you
Of time that you never knew
Sing of not remembering when
Of memories that go unremembered and then
Sing a song of forgetting, again
That day our child was born
Our baby girl's first cry
That gray and drizzly morn
I've never felt so high
DIANA
The day we met
And we shared 2 beers
DAN
Then?
DIANA
I forget.
DAN
But that's 19 years
NATALIE
What a lovely cure
It's a medical miracle
With a mind so pure
That she doesn't know anything
DAN
It's there I'm sure
Cause memories don't die.
NATALIE
Why
DAN
They don't die
NATALIE
They die
DIANA
I'll try
(overlapping)
DAN
Sing a song of forgetting
A song of the way things were not
Sing of what's lost to you
Of times that you never knew
(overlapping)
NATALIE
Sing a song of forgetting
A song of the way things were not
Sing of what's lost to you
What's lost to you
What's lost to you
You never knew
(overlapping)
DIANA
Sing a song of forgetting
A song of the way things were not
Sing of what's lost to you
What's lost to you
What's lost to you
You never knew
ALL
Sing of not remembering when
Of memories that go unremembered and when
DAN
Sing a song of forgetting
NATALIE
Sing a song of forgetting
DIANA
Sing a song of forgetting
ALL
Again
