He lost his job that mornin' stopped off and bought a fifth of pride

A reality eraser a little taste to help face her that night

He broke his same ol' promise when he showed up with whiskey on his breath

That night he can't remember the one that she can't forget



Now he's been clean and sober since twenty-three October '95

His drinking days are over but there's that one she can't get off her mind

He tries to apologize but can't recall and don't realize

She won't forgive whatever he said

That night he can't remember the one she can't forget



Well she never has remarried 'cause she never has stopped carrying the pain

It serves as a reminder that the man she left behind her just couldn't change

But if she only knew she probably saved his life the night she left

That night he can't remember the one that she just can't forget



Now he's been clean and sober since twenty-three October '95

His drinking days are over but there's that one she can't get off her mind

And he tries to apologize but can't recall and don't realize

She won't forgive whatever he said

That night he can't remember the one

Oh the night he can't remember the one she can't forget

The night he can't remember, is the one she can't forget
