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 thep ain  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
