By townes van zandt
Dont go saying Im leaving you
Thinking I never got close enough to stay
Time runs in, and then runs out
Starts again and its always been that way
Youre gonna drown tomorrow
If you cry to many tears for yesterday
Tomorrows half of all youve got
So treat him good, cause when Im gone, hell stay
I wont be forgetting you
You wont be forgetting me, I know
If memory comes a summer cloud
Rains her sweetness down to me below
I see you like you look right now
Maybe wonder why I had to go
But heaven is the way she is
Rain falls and rivers flow
So heres to feelin good
Heres to feelin bad
Heres to bein thankful
Sorry for the pleasures that we had
And autumn days and window panes
God, forgive us if you feel decieved
The clock dont know you like I do
And its only him or me you got to believe
