Myself and Daniel were going to do a show back at home to celebrate 30 years of Highland Radio.
Highland Radio is the station [G] that I present on Monday to Friday from 2.30 to 5.
We do a country show and I would have Daniel on there as a special guest and many of the other entertainers who will be on the likes of this cruise will be [B] special guests with me on the radio.
But we were doing this show and [G] we talked about [B] doing a duet and then this pandemic came along and [N] the show was cancelled.
We were on the lookout for a song to record so I rang Shunni and I said, Shunni, any chance of writing a song?
And a bit like you and your first song, Shunni says, well have you any ideas?
And I said, no have you?
And he says, well give me something.
And I says, well I suppose we were always taught in our house not to take things for granted and that's how this song came about.
It's [F] called Don't Take The Good Times For Granted.
[A#]
Honestly, the first time we have ever sung it [F] has gone through public so it's a big [C] thing.
[C]
[F] [A#]
[F] It can be so complicated and I'm scared I might lose [A#] my way when a friendly hand rests on my shoulder [C] and smiling I heard him [F] say
[C] Some [F] don't take the good times for granted [C]
Poor [F] things keep on changing [C] each day
Make time to be with the ones that you love Let nothing stand in your [F] way
We don't know what waits around the corner We never know what lies [A#] ahead
So just for a moment [F] get all your troubles [C] And count all your blessings [F] and say
Ladies and [G] gentlemen, [A#] Denzel Drum!
[F]
[C]
[F] I [D#]
[F#] often dream of the future [C#]
Of all the things I [C#] might do
Son, follow your heart, cause if you never dream Your dreams, they can never come [F#] true
[D#] Should [F#] you choose a [C#] road that's [F#] less gravel Just know I'll be there [B] too
You're not just a shoulder [F#] to lean on [C#] I thank you for being [F#] my friend
[D#]
[F#m] Don't take [C#] the good times for granted Poor [F#] things keep on changing [C#] each day
Make time to be with the ones that you love Let nothing stand in your [F#] way
We don't know [C#] what waits around [F#] the corner We never know what lies [B] ahead
So just for a moment [F#] forget all your troubles [C#] And count all your blessings [F#] and say
[D]
So [G] don't take the good times for granted Poor things keep on changing [D] each day
Make time to be with the ones that you love Let nothing stand in your [G] way
We don't know what waits around the corner We never know what [C] lies ahead
So just for a moment forget all your troubles [D] And count all your blessings and say
So [C] just for a moment [G] forget all your [Em]
troubles And [D] count all your blessings
[A#m] and [G] say
