Today
(New Christy Minstrels - Randy Sparks)
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vinesI'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wines.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today.
Well I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow may bring?
Today while the blossoms...
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring.
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.
Today while the blossoms...
Additional Verses:
I live for today and I love for the moment
The hour is now and the moment is mine
My joys are all here and they're all mine for the knowing
The memories, they'll live in my mind.
Today while the blossoms...
I'll sigh at the parting with sweet melancholy
And long for the days that I dreamed were here
But sorrow and sadness shall not be my folly
Love one and you'll always love true
Today while the blossoms...
I'm just as restless as winds blowing westward
I can't stay in any one place for too long
I'll love you today and then leave you tomorrow
And then you will know I am gone.
Today while the blossoms...
Don't cry if our stay soon comes to an ending
We don't write the stories, we only play parts
And while one is dying, another is pending
Another shall live in our hearts.
Today while the blossoms...
