Hank Locklin - I forgot to live today lyrics
Your rating:
My key turns in the lock And I open my front door Greeted by the darkness Like too many times before. I tiptoe in to kiss the children But they're all asleep Wonder if they're dreaming About the date I didn't keep. It was such a busy day I just couldn't get away 'Cause you gotta make it While you can. So I remember dollar bills Business deals and headache pills But I forgot to live today I forgot to live today. As I dressed for bed I think about today Wonder what I got For all the time I gave away. Traded my time for a dollar bill Didn't see the sky but I saw the mill Couldn't go to Jeannie's play Missed Timmy's ballgame yesterday. Mary had to go for both of us While I remember dollar bills business deals and headache pills But I forgot to live today I forgot to live today. Born with all the time I'll ever see Each day another part Alips away from me But I forgot to live today. As I slip into bed And I kiss my Mary's cheek I can tell she's crying And I know she's not asleep. I listen to the clock tick Away another night And swear that tomorrow I'll make everything right. I'll remember building kites Mending dolls and broken bikes Flowers for the woman in my life. And I remember who I love More than all the stars above 'Cause I forgot to live today I forgot to live today...
