How Easily I Slip Your Mind by Saralee Sky

Here are the lyrics to a song I just wrote, after my oldest son forgot to visit me on his last trip to Bellingham from Seattle. It quickly evolved to be more than just about the missed visit, and has changed from a sad ballad to a reggae song! My partner, Jer, created the melody and helped to rearrange the lyrics to suit a reggae beat.

How Easily I Slip Your Mind by Saralee Sky and Jerry Kilgore

How easily, how easily,
How easily, how easily,
How easily I slip your mind.

I look at you - you look away.
How easily love slips away.
How easily I slip your mind.

How easily, how easily,
How easily, how easily,
How easily I slip your mind.

Bridge:
A flower blooms and gives no sign
That beauty fades away in time.
Like petals falling from the vine,
I slip your mind.

How easily we drift apart.
How easily you break my heart.
How easily I slip your mind.

How easily, how easily,
How easily, how easily,
How easily I slip your mind.
I slip your mind.
I slip your mind.
I slip your mind.
