[Verse 1]
There’s something still and so surreal about the night that sometimes I wish it all away
Before my eyes I see a flicker of light that comes close as it echoes in the air
Did you hear me crying out?

[Chorus]
Don’t you forget about me now
Don’t you forget about me now

[Verse 2]
I find myself among the thick of it all and slowly start creeping toward the edge
Tip my hat and try to face it head-on but the cows make the cowboys in the end
You can hear them singing out

[Chorus]
Don’t you forget about me now
Don’t you forget about me now
