Today Lyrics

Artist: John Denver
Album: Live At The Sydney Opera House

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the An Evening With John Denver album, and has also been released on the Country Classics album. Some versions of the first album do not contain this song.

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today

Ill be a dandy, and Ill be a rover
Youll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table, Ill sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today

I cant be contented with yesterdays glory
I cant live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
Ill laugh and Ill cry and Ill sing

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today

I cant be contented with yesterdays glory I cant 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 Words to live by.

by Dennetta-Rose on 12/5/2008 2:54am My mother used to sing this to me when I was a baby and I in turn have sung it to my 3 children. It is so important to live for today and let tomorrow take care of itself.
