Lyrics I Forgot to Remember to Forget - John Prine , Mac Wiseman

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've 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'd ever met
But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

(I forgot to remember to forget her)
I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
(I can't seem to get her off my mind)
I thought I'd never miss her
(I thought I'd never miss her)

But I found out somehow
(But I found out somehow)
I think about her almost all the time
(I think about her almost all the time)

The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met

But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

We forgot to remember to forget
