Alison Krauss – Forget About It

Lyrics:
Forget about it
I’m admitting I was wrong and I’ll just take what’s mine and walk right out the door
Forget about it
I’ll split and I’ll be gone and you’ll have memories you’ll find hard to ignore
Cause after all I’ll see you sometime baby when I can’t recall how you drove me crazier
Forget about it
When forever’s over I won’t remember how much I loved you anymore
Forget about it
Put me out of your head now that your free and easy out there on the town
Forget about it
When you’re lyin’ in bed just wishin I was there to lay on down
Cause after all I’ll see you sometime baby when you will recall how I drove you crazier
Forget about those star-lit nights
Layin by the fireside holdin’ you tight
I can’t remember when it felt so right
So just forget about it
(Bridge)
Forget about it
When you see me on the street don’t look don’t wave don’t try to tease me with your smile
Forget about it
If we chance to meet somewhere don’t think it’s cause I’m tryin’ to reconcile
Cause after all
I see you sometime baby
When I can’t recall how you drove me crazier
Forget about those star-lit nights
Layin by the fireside holdin’ you tight
I can’t remember when it felt so right
So just forget about it
