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]
