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 old 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 23 October '95
His drinkin' 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 that she can't forget

Well she never has remarried
'Cause she never has stopped carryin' the pain
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 can't forget

Now he's been clean and sober
Since 23 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 that night he can't remember
The one that she can't forget

That night he can't remember
Is the one she can't forget
