"I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" (also known as "I Keep Forgettin'") is a song released in 1982 by American singer-songwriter Michael McDonald, from his debut album If That's What It Takes. It was written by McDonald and Ed Sanford. Similarity to Chuck Jackson's 1962 song "I Keep Forgettin'", composed by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, resulted in Leiber and Stoller also being given a songwriting credit for Michael McDonald's song.
