TODAY

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries I’ll drink your sweet wine. 
A million tomorrows shall all pass away,
E’er I forget all the joy that is mine, today.

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 the morrow shall bring.

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries I’ll drink your sweet wine. 
A million tomorrows shall all pass away,
E’er I forget all the joy that is mine, today.

I can’t be contented with yesterday’s glory, I can’t live on promises winter to spring. 
Today is my moment, now is my story, I’ll laugh and I’ll cry and I’ll sing.

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries I’ll drink your sweet wine. 
A million tomorrows shall all pass away,
E’er I forget all the joy that is mine, today.
