This is a message to myself out in the future 

I don’t know what you’ll be doing then 

If you’re listening to this song then you’ll receive it 

I’ve got questions here that I would like to send 

 

I want to know my friend, if you’re still happy 

Did you keep the things that matter most to you 

You might recall, you once had all 

A man could want, is that still true? 

 

Nothing lasts forever 

Except maybe the mistakes 

What did you leave behind 

What do you see when you’re awake 

 

Nothing gives you pleasure 

Like your dreams of yesterday 

So I’m sending you this message 

From the life you threw away 

 

From me to me, to me, to me, to you 

From a man so dumb and lucky 

To a man so old and blue 

 

From you to you, to you, to you, to me 

Can I see what you’ve become 

What my foolish heart has done to me 

 

You had love surrounding you like sunshine 

Warming you from morning until eve 

A lovely wife and children, friends and family 

A life of comfort too good to believe 

 

I want you to know that if you’re lonely 

If you were careless or unlucky over time 

That I love this life of ours enough for both of us 

And I’ll savor every moment that goes by
