how can I forget

How can I forget how good you were, you were, to me,
it's not easy, it's not easy,
How can I forget how good you were, you were, to me,
it's not easy, it's not easy,

You supported me when no one other than my momma did,
stayed faithful even when I wasn't anywhere on the grid,
took care of me when I was poor, girl you an uncommon kid,
get me out there, two-stepping and swing dancing,
after a hard days work, buy me a beer and give a little romancing,
taking me while I snooze, to secret railroad tracks,
dancing in the dark, climbing hills making branches crack,
memories sweet as these, it's hard not to think back,


How can I forget how good you were, you were, to me,
it's not easy, it's not easy,
How can I forget how good you were, you were, to me,
it's not easy, it's not easy,

I've got so many stories, and I'm sure you do to,
but I got stuck up in em, and somehow you moved through,
you're on another life, and maybe so should I be,
cuz if he makes you his wife, I'll be tripping Biblicaly
so maybe this is catharsis and getting it out of my mind,
externalizing guarded love, by turning it into a rhyme,
and maybe it will loose its passion if I say enough times,
I feel myself with each phrase, becoming and observer again,
and its that cold annalist, that betrayed and hurt you my friend,
but if I stay hot for you, then I might just be burning in sin,
so I pop the ice in the mix and try to make it blend,

Still though, can't help but be grateful for all you gave me,
for me to hurt you, shit, I had to be crazy,
but one thing we both know, our God is amazing,
know matter how life goes down , I'm grateful to ya both,
and we should both keep on praising.
