To Forget You - Trijntje Oosterhuis

Got myself a new home

In a fine neighbourhood

The sun’s always shining

And life is good

Now it’s time to forget you

Like I said I would

Like I said I would

I’m takin' it easy

In my backyard

Think I’ll take an evening stroll

Down East Boulevard

And I’ll try to forget you

Shouldn’t be that hard

Shouldn’t be that hard 'cause

I said I’d be happy

Somewhere else

But the miles don’t save me

From myself

Last thing I’ll do

Is to pick up the phone

Tell you I’m sorry

Say I’m coming home

'Cause I’ve tried to forget you

But you’re in my bones

Oh yeah you’re in my bones

I’ve tried and I’ve tried…

I said I’d be happy

Somewhere else

But the miles don’t save me

From myself

Yeah I got a new life

In a fine neighbourhood

A place to call my own

Like you said I should

And I’m trying to forget you

As if I ever could

As if I ever could

I try, try to forget you

Like I said I would

As if I ever could
