[Silence]
[Arrangement: Up-tempo pop-rock with bouncy piano, jangly guitars, handclaps, and humorous vocal interplay]
[Intro]
Where was I?
(You tell me)
Lost my train
(Of memory)
[Verse 1]
Had a thought
(It slipped away)
Maybe it’ll
(Return someday)
Walked into
(Another room)
Forgot the reason
(All too soon)
Looking high
(Looking low)
Where it went
(I don’t know)
[Refrain]
I’m drawing a blank
(…and who do I have to thank?)
Nobody but “Me, myself, and I”
(…so, all I can do is try)
Search my brain
(One more time)
Maybe it’ll
(Fall in line)
[Chorus]
Almost had it
(There it goes!)
Right beneath
(My very nose)
Close enough
(To almost see)
Then it waves
(Goodbye to me)
[Verse 2]
Made a list
(Lost the page)
Guess that’s just
(The latest stage)
Names and places
(Come and go)
Some come back
(Soft and slow)
If I laugh
(I’m okay)
Maybe it’ll
(Return someday)
[Bridge]
Memory’s funny
(So they say)
Playing hide
(And seek all day)
No use getting
(Upset or blue)
Smile…
(And start anew)
[Instrumental]
[Piano solo]
[Guitar fills]
[Final Chorus]
Almost had it
(There it goes!)
Floating where
(Nobody knows)
I’ll keep searching
(Through the fog)
One more page
(In the log)
[Final Refrain]
I’m drawing a blank
(…and who do I have to thank?)
Nobody but “Me, myself, and I”
(…so, all I can do is try)
One more chance
(One more day)
Maybe it’ll
(Find its way)
[Outro]
Had a thought…
(There it went…)
Oh well…
(Next attempt!)
