Today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPI_ZqlFWU

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

Ere I'll 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

Ere I'll 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

Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today
