I Keep Forgetting (That I Forgot About You)
Lynn Anderson · Lynn Anderson [Chart] [1971]
(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...
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...
