A YEAR AGO TO-NIGHT
- Gene Autry -
I RECEIVED YOUR CARD THIS MORNING WHEN THE MAILMAN PASSED MY WAY,
I'M SO GLAD YOU THOUGHT ENOUGH OF ME TO WRITE;
I KNOW IT MAKES YOU HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE YOUR WEDDING DAY,
BUT DO YOU RECALL A YEAR AGO TO-NIGHT?
WHEN WE MADE OUR VOWS TOGETHER THAT OUR LOVE WOULD NEVER DIE,
DARLING HOW WERE WE TO KNOW IT WASN'T RIGHT;
I CAN'T RECALL THE REASON WHY WE QUARRELED AND SAID GOOD-BYE,
BUT I STILL RECALL A YEAR AGO TO-NIGHT.
MAY YOU ALWAYS FIND CONTENTMENT IN EACH TRIAL AND JOY YOU SHARE,
MAY THE YEARS THAT GLIDE BEFORE YOU BRING DELIGHT;
BUT WHEN OLD TIME MEMORIES HAUNT YOU AND YOU HAVE THE TIME TO SPARE,
WILL YOU JUST RECALL A YEAR AGO TO-NIGHT?
THO' THIS PARTING MAKES US STRANGERS YOU WILL ALWAYS SHARE MY HEART,
WHEN THE FADING YEARS HAVE TURNED OUR HAIR TO WHITE;
I WILL ALWAYS FEEL YOU NEAR ME, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE WORLDS APART,
'CAUSE I'LL STILL RECALL A YEAR AGO TO-NIGHT.
