Thanks for All the Times that I Forgot

And a companion song to that which I also sang solo in a little interim at that Passim goodbye performance was this one for Mom and Dad who had generously let me pick out my prized Guild guitar as a graduation present from college, and who were so supportive to all the performances and the SeaBright album…

Thanks for all the Times… 1/3/78
Sitting ’round the big old kitchen table,
Talking ’bout the past and future plans,
It seems to me things have come full circle.
I’m back where the two or you began.

Children have their children and their memories.
Their personal effects and their “just cause”,
You give your life and let them make their own one.
You give a hand not asking for applause.


It seems I sing songs for all the others.
This one is just for the two of you.
Who set the scene for all my happy endings,
Thanks for all the things that I forgot.

I know that children sometimes have short memories-
So thanks for all the times when I forgot.
Thanks for all the times when I forgot.
