A Hundred Years From Now
Flatt And Scruggs · Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs
A hundred years from now I won't be blue
And my heart will have forgotten that she broke every vow
I won't care a hundred years from now
Oh, it seems like only yesterday you told me
You couldn't live without my love somehow
Now that you're with another it breaks my heart somehow
I won't care a hundred years from now
Now do you recall the night sweetheart you promised
Another's kiss you never would allow
That's all in the past dear it didn't seem to last
I won't care a hundred years from now
