To Talk To You Today
Please check out the news on our home page for the true story of To Talk To You Today.
1967, you taught me how to play
All those Merle Haggard songs
Man, he had a way
And the intro to “Detroit City”
I remember it today
You were my hero then
You still are today
What happened to us
How did the years slip away
I always thought that we’d get
Back together one day
As the years slipped by
Other things got in the way
If only I could talk to you today
I’m forty-seven now
And I heard yesterday
That you were gone
There’s just nothin’ I can say
I acted like it didn’t matter
But my heart got in the way
I want one more chance
To talk to you today
What happened to us
How did the years slip away
I always thought that we’d get
Back together one day
As the years slipped by
Other things got in the way
If only I could talk to you today
I want one more chance
To talk to you today
