Lyrics

Today and Tomorrow

I watched Today walk away, battle worn and scarred
Head down, limping, with eyes dull and hard
Her youth and promise left in the dust
Betrayal of my heart's eager foolish trust

As she passed a shadow stirred and stepped into the light
Tomorrow had been waiting all through the night
So confident and beautiful, a brilliant piercing ray
She would not wreck my life, unlike Today

I'll give Tomorrow hopes and dreams
That Today never achieved
It was all her fault or clever schemes
At least that's what I believe

Tomorrow is my new love, the one I will adore
She'll hurry my accomplishments, unlike the one before
All my plans she'll understand, I'll give them all to her
Who cares about Today and the trouble she incurred?

I'll give Tomorrow hopes and dreams
That Today never achieved
It was all her fault or clever schemes
At least that's what I believe

As Today walked away, she spoke to the arrival, "Hey Tomorrow"
"Good luck with him, I pray for your survival"
"He wasted my time and before it he knew"
"Nothing was accomplished and Today was through ... "

I'll give Tomorrow hopes and dreams
That Today never achieved
It was all her fault or clever schemes
At least that's what I believe
And that is what I'll believe ... (today and) tomorrow ...
(Today and) tomorrow .... tomorrow
