Another Day

(album: Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 1996)

[ROGER:]
Who do you think you are
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl, hey
The door is that way
You better go you know the fire is out anyway
Take your powder
Take your candle
Your sweet whisper
I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes goodbye, goodnight

I should tell you
I should tell you
I should, no

Another time
Another place
Our temperature would climb
There'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance it'd be another play
Looking for romance come back another day
Another day

[MIMI:]
The heart may freeze
Or it can burn
The pain will ease
If I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last

There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

[ROGER:]
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me why do you need smack
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
Don't forget get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago you might've lit up my heart
But the fires dead and ain't never ever gonna start

Another time
Another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong
Come back another day
Another day

[MIMI:]
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today

[ALL:]
I can't control (Control your temper)
My destiny (She doesn't see)
I trust my soul (Who says that there's a soul)
My only goal
Is just to be (Just let me be)
There's only now (Who do you think you are)
There's only here
Give into love (Barging in on me)
Or live in fear (And my guitar)
No other past (Little girl hey)
No other way (The door is that way)

No day but today (The fires out anyway)
No day but today (Take your powder)
(Take your candle)
No day but today
(Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette)
No day but today
(Another time, another place, another rhyme, a warm embrace)
No day but today
(Another dance, another way, another chance, another day)
No day but today
