Only Him or Me

By townes van zandt

Don't go saying i'm leaving you

Thinking i never got close enough to stay

Time runs in, and then runs out

Starts again and it's always been that way

You're gonna drown tomorrow

If you cry to many tears for yesterday

Tomorrow's half of all you've got

So treat him good, 'cause when i'm gone, he'll stay

I won't be forgetting you

You won't be forgetting me, i know

If memory comes a summer cloud

Rains her sweetness down to me below

I see you like you look right now

Maybe wonder why i had to go

But heaven is the way she is

Rain falls and rivers flow

So here's to feelin' good

Here's to feelin' bad

Here's to bein' thankful

Sorry for the pleasures that we had

And autumn days and window panes

God, forgive us if you feel decieved

The clock don't know you like i do

And it's only him or me you got to believe
