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

This was the song that kept my mother going when she spent over a year in Hospital with a Broken Back.

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.

Time is short. Make the most of every day with loved ones.

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.

Me and my wife loved this one...she died of breast cancer only a short time after we were married but the words are good to take to heart in more ways than one.
