"I Can't Remember" is a song written by Bill and Bette Anderson, and recorded as a single by American country artist Connie Smith. It was produced by Bob Ferguson and was released on her 1965 album Cute 'n' Country. The song was released in April 1965, reaching the Top 5 on the Billboard country music chart and becoming her third Top 10 hit. It was Smith's third single released under the RCA Victor label.
"I Can't Remember" was the third single written by Bill Anderson. This song, however, was co-written with his first wife, Bette Anderson. It was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee March 17, 1965 at RCA Victor's Studio B. The session was produced by Bob Ferguson (who also produced her three other singles) and was backed by Nashville's "A-Team" of musicians, which included Charlie McCoy on bass guitar, Hargus "Pig" Robbins on piano, and part of Anderson's touring band, The Po' Boys.[1][2] The song's female narrator explains how her lover called her late at night explaining he must leave town. Although he had told her where he was going, the woman could not remember "but can't forget he's gone." The song's first chorus explains its storyline:
Did he say Sunday noon or one day soon
I think he left with Dan, but what if he said Ann
Did they go to meet a train or leave to catch a plane
I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone
Like her previous two singles released, "I Can't Remember" featured Smith performing the song's guitar accompaniment as well as singing lead vocals.[3]
