I Forgot To Live Today — текст песни (Hank Locklin)

My key turns in the lock and I opened 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 slips away from me
But I forgot to live today
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 from 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
