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 carryin' the pain

It serves as a reminder
that the man she left behind her just couldn't change
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
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
