Lyrics
Yesterday I put away the ring you gave me on our wedding day
I buried it in a drawer you used to use
Last night I cried myself to sleep, prayed the Lord my soul to keep
And give me strength to get over you.
(chorus)
One day I'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night and think of anything other than you
One day I'm gonna pick up this old guitar and write a song about somebody new.
Gonna Laugh. Gonna dance. Gonna take a chance on happily ever after.
No tears. No fears. Just let you go. Not today.
Today I tried to drink away the thought of you and yesterday
Passed the hours just me and a bottle of gin
No liquor's gonna dull the pain, bring you back or stop the rain
That's a fight I ain't gonna win.
(chorus)
Not today, not today, not today, not today
(Chorus 2)
One day I'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night and reach for someone other than you
One day I'm gonna let myself face the truth that you're in love with somebody new
Gonna Laugh. Gonna dance. Gonna take a chance on happily ever after.
No tears. No fears. Just let you go. Not today.
