—The Delmore Brothers
Here today and gone tomorrow, life's too short to borrow sorrow
Life's too short for me to worry over you.
You are gone, you are missin', other lips you are kissin'
Life's too short for me to worry over you.
Chorus: (after each verse):
And I'm leavin'(and I'm leavin')and I'm grievin'(and I'm grievin')
And I'm grievin'"(and I'm grievin')cause I'm blue.
Here today and gone tomorrow, life's too short to borrow sorrow
Life's too short for me to worry over you.
Sometimes I think I'm crazy with these blue days so hazy
Can't realize that you are so untrue.
Now I know that you don't love me and by all the powers above me
Life's too short for me to worry over you.
I'm through with you forever, for this time we must sever
I'm gonna have another heart so good and true,
That was made for usin' not for all this abusin'
Life's too short for me to worry over you.
