Story Behind The Song
I wrote a song while sitting in the sunshine on my front porch in Del Mar during a 75 degree winter's day - perfect! When I came into record it and get it fixed so I could remember it, it was completely gone. I couldn't remember it...so I wrote this song about the song I forgot...thus the title...
Song Description
Sometimes we see someone going through something so difficult, that they can't see any hope for themselves. So, as a friend, you must hope for them, and be that kind reassurance that they will survive and grow stronger. This is what that song is about - the assurance that there is a purpose to suffering and there is hope throughout.

Lyrics
I wrote a song today
That I can?t remember
It spoke of skies so gray
And how to navigate this weather this winter
And I swear it held a key to life
In this human situation
And it made sense in my mind
And for a blessed moment everything went golden
(Chorus)
And it went?Da-iiii
But it had words with it
That dealt with all these questions
Like how could God permit
All of this pain if He?s so good?
But yet I saw how this could be
As I sang there in the sunshine
And I sang of beauty
Despite the cloudiness of living this life
Chorus
Bridge:
I felt like the Buddha, I felt like the Christ
Who underneath their trees
Sucked the sap from this life
And they learned how to just be
Help me learn just how to be.
I wrote a song today
That I can?t recover
And as I sang away
All this was discovered in my own heart
Maybe it was meant for me
And so you?ll have to trust me
That there exists a key
To all of this pain that you?re going through
So just sing with me?
