I Forgot To Remember To Forget

Chris Isaak · Beyond the Sun [2011]

I forgot to remember to forget her,

I can't seem to get her off my mind.

I thought I'd never miss her,

But I found out somehow

I think about her almost all the time.

The day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I'd soon forget we ever met.

But something sure is wrong,

'Cause I'm so blue and lonely.

I forgot to remember to forget.



The day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I'd soon forget we ever met,

Well, but something sure is wrong,

'Cause I'm so blue and lonely.

I forgot to remember to forget.
