A Year Ago Tonight - Ernest Tubb

I received your card this morning when the mailman passed my way

I’m so glad you thought enough of me to write

And I’m sure it makes you happy to announce your wedding day

But do you recall a year ago tonight

When we made a vow together that our love would never die

Darling how were we to know it wasn’t right

Though I can’t recall the reason why we quarreled and said goodbye

But I still recall a year ago tonight

May you always find contentment in each trial and joy you share

May the years that lie before you bring delight

But when old time memories haunt you and you have the time to spare

Will you just recall a year ago tonight

Though this parting makes us strangers you will always share my heart

When the fading years have turned our hair to white

I will always feel you near me even though we’re worlds apart

Cause I’ll still recall a year ago tonight
