Every time I think I got it all figured out
  Then I draw a blank and my whole world crashes down
  So many people have got it worse than me
  But that could change tomorrow, ain't no guarantee
  
  (chorus)
  How soon we forget
  To count every blessing
  If you think you got it bad take a look around
  How soon we forget
  That life is one big lesson
  Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
  How soon we forget
  
  Got a freind of mine who says he's run all out of luck
  But he'll be fine, 'cause he just ain't drunk enough
  The world is empty when you're slammin' those shots down
  How can you be happy, son when the devil's hangin' 'round
  
  How soon we forget
  To count every blessing
  If you think you got it bad take a look around
  How soon we forget
  That life is one big lesson
  Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
  How soon we forget
  How soon we forget
  
  Just remember, thank God you're here today
  If you got the will you can find a way
  
  How soon we forget... oh, baby
  
  How soon we forget
  To count every blessing
  If you think you got it bad take a look around
  How soon we forget
  That life is one big lesson
  Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
  There's a message to this madness here my freind
  Will we ever learn before the story ends
  
  Soon we all forget
  How soon we forget
  Soon we forget.. ooh
  Take a look around and you will see
  Soon we all forget... oh
  
  So many people have got it worse than me
  Oh.. can't you see
  How soon we all forget
