I Keep Forgetting

Lynn Anderson · Songs My Mother Wrote [Chart] [1970]

(Liz Anderson)



I keep forgettin' to not remember you've put you out of my mind

Never more to be swayin' my many charms

I keep forgettin' to never think of you oh so much of the time

How I wish you had stayed here in my arms.



There's no sleep for me no more I stay awake and walk the floor

I keep forgettin' that we're supposed to be true

Loneliness is my downfall for some time I almost cry no more

I keep forgettin' that I forgot about you.



--- Instrumental ---



I can't get used to it there's no end to it feeling lonely all day

Almost I can forget for just about then

Oh some old memory comes to torture me and I know right away

That I'll have to forget all over again.



There's no sleep for me no more I stay awake and walk the floor

I keep forgettin' that we're supposed to be true

Loneliness is my downfall for some time I almost cry no more

I keep forgettin' that I forgot about you.



Oh, I keep forgettin' that I forgot about you...
