Lyrics
Can’t remember getting doleful
Can’t remember feeling sad
Seems to me the world is only
Just a bunch of being glad
Can’t remember any season
When the sun has never shone
Can’t remember any winter
‘Cept the summer followed on
Just remember lots of pleasures
That I might have been without
Just remember heaps of troubles
That I MIGHT have had, no doubt
Don’t remember, all my lifetime
Ever gaining much from tears
Don’t see how I’d gain much pleasure
Nursing trouble all the years
Can’t remember any garden
Didn’t have a single flower
Can’t remember any daytime
Didn’t have SOME happy hour
Don’t remember any roadway
Hasn’t got a pleasant mile
Don’t remember anybody
Hasn’t got SOME cause to smile
