Am I That Easy to Forget
Faron Young · All American Country [2004]
They say you've found somebody new
But that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away
Forget the love I have for you.
Yes, I could find somebody too
But I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret
Oh, am I that easy to forget?
Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget.
Yes, I could find somebody too
But I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret
Oh, am I that easy to forget?...
