I'm Not Trying to Forget You

Willie Nelson · The Music Of Willie Nelson [2009]

I'm not trying to forget you anymore

I got back into remembering all the love we shared before

And I'd been trying to forget someone who my heart still adores

So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

You were someone who brought happiness into my life

and it did not last forever but that's all right

we were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend

And if I had the chance I'd do it all again

So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

I got back into remembering all the love we had before

And the best days of my life are still when you walk through that door

so I'm not trying to forget you anymore
