[Verse 1]
We were thrown into a snowbank
Into this screaming night
I heard the splintering of bones
I heard the cries of pain and fright
We had laughed and shared a kiss
Mingled there our lives, honey
Doin' ninety miles an hour
When our train hit the ice

[Chorus 1]
Now I can't remember
What was I so excited about?
I can't remember
Why all the fuss and shout?
I can't remember
Ah, watch the ember goin' out

[Verse 2]
We were joking about the club car's
Noticeable bad taste
And the food was barely edible
And the opulence and waste were simply astounding
The passengers spent hours dismissing
Rumors of their demise
You know, it's true, a little make-up
Can make a corpse look fine
[Chorus 2]
But I can't remember
I've been this way since birth
I can't remember
Who gives a rat's ass who is first?
I can't remember
Ah, what is any of it worth?

[Verse 3]
I caught sight of a body
In a coat that looked like yours
And I called out your name, darlin'
But I guess you never heard me
Instinctively I reached out
And I pulled you near to me
Sometimes God's grace won't let you look upon
What you can't bear to see

[Chorus 3]
But I can't remember
All the idols on parade
I can't remember
Buy low, sell high, trade away
I can't remember
Ah, watch the embers die away
[Verse 4]
I saw Jesus in the air
Now there's a face that you can't miss
I saw Him brush away the snowflakes
And bestow on you a kiss
He gathered you up in His arms
And God, you looked so fine
And the white dress you were wearin', darlin'
Like a billion stars did shine

[Chorus 1]
But I can't remember
What was I so excited about?
I can't remember
Why all, all this fuss and shout?
I can't remember
Ah, watch the ember goin' out
