Lyrics
The Man I Used to Be
© Tim Sharp 2014
INTRO
Verse 1
Will you remember me who I used to be when my eyes don't burn so bright
Would you love me baby, like you do today if my words don't sound quite right
Through all the years of joy and tears, on our anniversary
When you look at me.... Will you still see.... The man I used to be
Verse 2
What if father time is not that kind, and maybe 20 years from now
I can't remember who you are, will you find a way somehow
To honor the man who held your hand, when we were young and free
When you look at me.... Will you still see.... The man I used to be
chorus
Please remember me....
Please remember me....
I love you baby like the day we met
When we grow old please don't forget....
The man I used to be.
SOLO
Verse 3
Will you still see the man who took your hand when we were young and free
Will you love him like you love him now for all eternity
Through all the years of joy and tears, on our anniversary
When you look at me.... Will you still see.... The man I used to be
Chorus
Please remember me....
Please remember me....
I love you baby like the day we met
When we grow old please don't forget....
The man I used to be.
Cause I love you baby like the day we met
When we grow old please don't forget....
The man I used to be.
That I used to be.
I used to be
I used to be
