    Story Behind the Song
    This song came to me while packing up equipment after a happy hour show. The line “Have you told them you love them today, have you told them you’ll need them tomorrow” just popped into my head. The rest followed rather quickly. “Taken For Granted” reminds us that we all have people very dear to us who we forget about, or forget how to communicate with, or just don’t have time for, and one day they might not be around for us to even make it up to them.

    Lyrics
    You look at him just like you have for twenty years
    You don’t even notice when he tries to tell you that he loves you
    ‘Cause you’re too caught up drowning in your fears, in your own tears
    And then one night he packs it up on you

    You can forget about asking yourself why
    But, you can thank your lucky stars he’s willing to give it one more try

    Have you told him you love him today
    Have you told him you’ll need him tomorrow
    Even though the sun is shining the rain is sure to follow
    And the heart you long to give, it ends up cold and hollow
    Have you told him you love him today
    Have you told him you’ll need him tomorrow

    She seemed so sweet and innocent until she hit her teens
    A rebel’s blood inside her veins, just like her father’s
    But with each passing year, oh, the gap that grew between
    She never came home since the day she left for college

    Now you only talk when holidays come ‘round
    And pretty soon her children won’t even know you’re not around

    Have you told her you love her today
    Have you told her you’ll need her tomorrow
    Even though the sun is shining the rain is sure to follow
    And the heart you long to give, it ends up cold and hollow
    Have you told her you love her today
    Have you told her you’ll need her tomorrow

    What we take for granted is oh, so easily taken away

    They gave you your name; they’re who you are
    And after all that they have done for you, it shouldn’t be that hard

    Have you told them you love them today
    Have you told them you’ll need them tomorrow
    Even though the sun is shining the rain is sure to follow
    And the heart you long to give, it ends up cold and hollow
    Have you told them you love them today
    Have you told them you’ll need them tomorrow
    Even though the sun is shining the rain is sure to follow
    And the heart you long to give, it ends up cold and hollow
    Have you told them you love them today
    Have you told them you’ll need them tomorrow


    What we take for granted is oh, so easily taken away
