Lyrics
Well a hundred years from now I won't be crying
A hundred years from now I won't be blue
And my heart will have forgotten that she broke every vow
I won't care a hundred years from now
Oh, it seems like only yesterday you told me
You couldn't live without my love somehow
Now that you're with another it breaks my heart somehow
I won't care a hundred years from now
Now do you recall the night sweetheart you promised
Another's kiss you never would allow
That's all in the past dear it didn't seem to last
I won't care a hundred years from now

About This Song
A Hundred Years From Now is a poignant gospel-tinged song popularized by The Seldom Scene in the 1970s, though it dates back much earlier. Written by Charles K. Harris in the late 1800s, it's become a bluegrass standard thanks to its memorable melody and philosophical lyrics about mortality and legacy.
