The Night You Can't Remember Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

Before you left your garrison 

You'd had a drink, maybe two 

You don't remember Paris, hon 

But it remembers you 

It's true, we flew to Paris, dear 

Aboard an Army jet 

The night you can't remember 

The night I can't forget 

You said I was terrific 

It meant zilch to you, ah 

But I have our marriage certificate 

And I'll keep it till I die 

You were an Army officer 

And I just a Rochette 

The night you can't remember 

The night I can't forget 

No rose conveyed your sentiments 

Not even a petunia 

But you've got vague presentiments 

And I've got little Junior 

You said, nobody loves me 

And I said, wanna bet? 

The night you can't remember 

The night I can't forget
