You Take The Future Lyrics

Words & Music by Jim Glaser
Recorded by Hank Snow

You say you decided to leave me for him,
Perhaps I could stop you, but chances are slim;
I just can't believe that it's over so fast,
You take the future, and I'll take the past.
You take the future and don't look for me,
I'll be behind you with old memories.
Hold on to your happiness and make it last,
You take the future, and I'll take the past.
[Repeat second verse]
