It Keeps Slipping My Mind

I keep intending to tell you

I've been lonely much too long

And some morning, you will wake up

And find the note that says I'm gone

I've tried so long to say I'm moving

To greener pastures down the line

I keep intending to tell you

But it keeps slipping my mind

I've got it on my lips to warn you

I've been lonely my last time

And when you wake up in the morning

You'll find me gone and lose your mind

I'd like to say that I'll be moving

To greener pastures down the line

I keep intending to tell you

But it keeps slipping my mind

I would have a bit of trouble

Thinking of the words I'll say

If I could keep old memories

From always gettin' in my way

I've come so very close to saying

My lovin' is a waste of time

I keep intending to tell you

But it keeps slipping my mind
