To Forget You (1971)

[Intro]
From the High Desert in the majestic American west
I bid you all good evening or good morning or good afternoon
Wherever you may be across this great land of ours
This is the world famous Shore to Spooky Shore AM, dark night in the desert
And I'm Art Pallone
I'm feeling nostalgic tonight, so before we have our first guest
I'd like to kick things off with a song
This delectable ditty from back in 1971 is like a diamond
Dust it off and it'll never lose its shine
Ginnie Pallone Mollner was the most popular singer in my house growing up
Bet I'm not the only one
Here she is with one of her very best, certainly one of my favorites
"To Forget You"

[Verse 1]
Looked like rain when you drove away
I was already cold
Last night seems so long ago
I can feel it in my stomach
I feel it in my bones
And now it feels like summer
What a long and lonely road

[Chorus]
And I packed my bags and I made my bed
But I don't know why I ever left you
So I learned the words and memorized the tune
But I just can't remember to forget you
To forget you

[Verse 2]
On the metro, that pretty face
Wouldn't give us the time
But I was yours and you were mine
Getting spaced and walking barefoot
On cobblestones at night
And now, I'm left with this aching
I can feel you in my spine

[Chorus]
So I packed my bags and I made my bed
But I don't know why I ever left you
So I learned the words and memorized the tune
But I just can't remember to forget you
To forget you

[Bridge]
I miss you in the morning
And I want you bad at night
Next time, I'll heed the warning
And never leave your side

[Chorus]
And I packed my bags and I made my bed
But I don't know why I ever left you
So I learned the words and memorized the tune
But I just can't remember to forget you
To forget you
To forget you
Oh, ooh
