Today

(album: Galveston - 1969)

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 tomorrow shall bring

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