"I'll Forget the Show"
by Citoyenne Ainsley
Sung to "I'll Forget You" about the mourning that goes on when SP is not in town.
I'll forget the show
The more it stays in my CD player
The weaker I grow.
I'll forget the show
Tomorrow I will turn and let it go.
I'll grow colder
I'll lose myself in Les Mis or the Phantom
For there is nothing I can do now
But forget.
I'll forget the show
I won't remember songs
That pulled me in soft and slow
I'll forget the show
There has to be a way to let obsession go
No more shadows
No dreams of being in the theater for every show
I will forget how much I love Chau-Chau
Any day.
But every time I close my eyes
It comes to me again
I swear I feel the goosebumps on my skin
It haunts me everywhere
'Till I reach into the air
Trembling to think of
All the nights that might have been
(Spent watching the show)
I'll forget the show
I hear him ad-lib to Chau in the dark
Still I know
I'll forget the show
God help me see the way to let obsession go
I do so want to go
And still it steals each breath I'm breathing
From me.
With just a song
It overcomes me.
And I let it
I will forget it
When I die.
