MIDI - THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Seared in my memory...it's quite a Christmas eve
I hope you'll believe
I'm not the kind of person who would knowingly deceive
I'll never forget

Seared in my memory...I wore a Santa suit
With my combat boots
It's right there in my diary so critics can't refute
I'll never forget

I placed the blame square on Nixon...'though he was not yet president
I did that 'cause it's easy...I thought he was sleazy

It's seared in my memory...like it was yesterday
I built my resume
I knew that I could use it when I put my plan in play
I'll never forget

Seared in my memory...my brief stint there in Nam
I wrote home to mom
I'd claim I kept Dick Nixon from using atomic bombs
I'll never forget

Seared in my memory...that sanpan was soon gone
We killed Vietcong
What really happened I would see was not remembered long
I'll never forget

I placed the blame square on Nixon...'though he was not yet president
I did that 'cause it's easy...I thought he was sleazy

It's seared in my memory...creating Purple Hearts
What a work of art
For my good buddy commies in the North I did my part
Those things.....I'll...never forget

[Wil H]

Duh..... I just caught it. The 2nd line ends in leave, the 3rd in believe. Please change the third line to ---

I'm not the kind of person who would knowingly deceive.

Thanks.

[doug from upland]

Thanks for bearing with me, but you changed the second line. Here is the whole first stanza --

Seared in my memory...it's quite a Christmas eve
I hope you'll believe
I'm not the kind of person who would knowingly deceive
I'll never forget
