Lyrics
WHAT YOU CAN FORGET TODAY
©2002 words and music by Marvin L. Adcock & John W. Bizzack
The room was almost empty - most folks had gone home
I was workin? on the last drink - of the last call all alone
When a young man on a far stool - who?d been watchin? me all night
Said ?I?m feelin? lost - and I kinda? thought - you might have some advice?
He looked like a reflection - of my younger self
Desperate for direction - in need of some help
I ran my fingers through my hair - and straightened up my back
Said ?Have a seat - I do believe - I?ve been where you?re at?
CHORUS
Always remember - you?re never younger than you are right now
And one good love?s worth a hundred heartaches - so hold on if it comes around
Long nights of drownin? pride - won?t wash a man?s troubles away
And don?t put off until tomorrow - what you can forget today
He pushed away his whiskey - and paid for both our tabs
Said ?Thanks for talkin? with me - you mind if I ask?
?How?d you ever get so smart - is it from experience?
I answered ?Yes, and I confess - I?m an expert on consequence?
CHORUS (repeat)
