You've got my file right in front of You That's it, that's right, that's me My bag of sorrows and my sack of blues Every doubt, my unbelief Oh, see, I've got page after page After pitiful page, a list that never ends Feel the need to bring up these old bones again Don't You remember all the times I failed You All the times I wandered away And don't You remember all of my offenses Walking with the fools on parade? I know You'd really like to help me out But You don't even know what I'm talking about It's not so much that You don't remember It's more that You choose to forget How does it work that omniscient God Can wipe the slate so clean That if you looked for a single spot A single spot could not be seen? Oh, still I've got page after page after Pitiful page locked in my memory Then I heard Him when He said to me: Don't you remember I promised to forgive ya? Gone as far as east from the west And don't you remember I promised to be faithful Wash away the sin you confess? Oh, yeah You know I'd really like to help you out But I don't even know what you're talking about It's not so much that I don't remember But it's more that I choose to forget, ah, yeah (Oh, yeah) Don't you remember I promised to forgive ya? Gone as far as east from the west And don't you remember I promised to be faithful Wash away the sin you confess? Oh, yeah You know I'd really like to help you out But I don't even know what you're talking about It's not so much that I don't remember But it's more that I choose to forget Don't you remember I promised to forgive ya? Gone as far as east from the west And don't you remember I promised to be faithful Wash away the sin you confess? Oh, yeah You know I'd really like to help you out But I don't even know what you're talking about It's not so much that I don't remember But it's more that I choose to forget
