I wrote this song in late 2003. It’s the oldest song on the Cherry Blossoms album. I wrote it after Warren Zevon died from cancer. Zevon had penned a song called Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile and I just cried when I first heard it. I wanted to write a song that good about love and death. It’s fun...
It’s a tragedy leaving you behind
If I could have my way you'd come along
I have a picture of us together
Hanging in the hallway of my heart
Chorus 1
We're eating cotton candy, riding roller coasters
Shooting stars and missing all night long
While I wasted all our money, I think I made you love me
So don't forget about me when I'm gone
Verse 2
I will have a drink to get me through the night
I am not afraid to be alone
The thing that keeps me up is the fear that in the morning
I'll wake up and find that I'm unknown
Chorus 2
So I think of cotton candy, riding roller coasters
Shooting stars and missing all night long
Whilе I'm wishing that you were herе, keep me in your heart dear
And don't forget about me when I'm gone
Bridge
I hope that you'll always remember
That night of true romance
When both of us gave up in surrender
To the melodramatic circumstance
Verse 3
I have never found a place the feels like home
I have never had a peaceful mind
I am stuck between somewhere i could go
And somewhere I should not leave behind
Chorus 3
I think of cotton candy riding, roller coasters
Shooting stars and missing all night long
You may think not it’s true, still I will always love
So don’t forget about me when I’m gone
