Every time I think I got it all figured out. Then I draw a blank. and my whole world crashes down. So many people have got it worse than me. But that could change tomorrow. ain't no guarantee. (chorus). How soon we forget. To count every blessing. If you think you got it bad take a look around. How soon we forget. That life is one big lesson. Still we make the same mistakes. time and time again. How soon we forget. Got a freind of mine. who says he's run all out of luck. But he'll be fine. 'cause he just ain't drunk enough. The world is empty. when you're slammin' those shots down. How can you be happy son. when the devil's hangin' 'round. How soon we forget. To count every blessing. If you think you got it bad. take a look around. How soon we forget. That life is one big lesson. Still we make the same mistakes. time and time again. How soon we forget. How soon we forget. Just remember thank God you're here today. If you got the will you can find a way. How soon we forget... oh baby. How soon we forget. To count every blessing. If you think you got it bad take a look around. How soon we forget. That life is one big lesson. Still we make the same mistakes. time and time again. There's a message to this madness here my freind. Will we ever learn before the story ends. Soon we all forget. How soon we forget. Soon we forget.. ooh. Take a look around and you will see. Soon we all forget... oh. So many people have got it worse than me. Oh.. can't you see. How soon we all forget
