[Verse 1] Rocking chair groans Same view Same road Dust on the fence Coffee gone cold I can see your dress From our wedding day Every joke you told Has somehow stayed But I can't find yesterday It just slid away Like a coat they took By mistake [Chorus] I remember everything but not today Faces from fifty years Clear as the rain Here comes my grandson Mmm… what's his name? I remember everything But not today [Verse 2] Teacher with red chalk Writes my full name I still smell the ink Don't feel no pain, Daddy's rough hands Grease on his ring He'd tap my shoulder Before he'd sing The first car I drove The first hand I held Every long-gone street Every old motel [Chorus] I remember everything but not today Faces from fifty years Clear as the rain Here comes my grandson Mmm… what's his name? I remember everything But not today [Bridge] Don't look so worried Boy Come sit close I know you're mine Even if I don't Your laugh sounds like Your mama at eight I can't hold the year But I feel the weight [Chorus] I remember everything but not today Faces from fifty years Clear as the rain Here comes my grandson Mmm… what's his name? I remember everything But not today (I remember everything) But not Today
