20 Years From Today

20 YEARS FROM TODAY - Written by Carroll Bryant

You’re just starting out your life

So many things you have to decide

When you’re young things move so fast

Memories that never last

Get replaced with visions 

That get lost outside of your eyes

Your mind

It traps you deep inside

One of these nights you’re gonna see

In that fire, everything you meant to me

Run for your life from everything that you believe

It’s then that you will realize that when others seem to fade

And the night lasts longer than was made

You’re gonna think of me twenty years from today

Your whole world gets so confused

So many things you have to do

So you prove that you can last

And all the people move so fast

When you lose those reasons 

That got lost outside of your eyes

Your mind

It will haunt you girl, so blind

One of these nights you’re gonna see

In that fire, everything you meant to me

Run for your life from everything that you believe

It’s then that you will realize that when others seem to fade

And the night lasts longer than was made

You’re gonna think of me twenty years from today

So hold onto these precious years 

Dry away those desperate tears

There’s still plenty left for you to see

And do

So hold onto your precious heart

Time will heal what breaks apart

There’s still plenty left for you to feel

And be

One of these nights you’re gonna find

Everything in me that you chose to leave behind

It traps you deep inside

One of these nights you’re gonna see

In that fire, everything you meant to me

Run for your life from everything that you believe

It’s then that you will realize that when others seem to fade

And the night lasts longer than was made

You’re gonna think of me twenty years from today

You’re gonna think of me … twenty years from today
