I'm Living For Today
Douglas Stanglin and Janet Devers

When I was a young man,

half a dollar in my jeans

I thought about the years to come

And what it all might mean

Then I got a little older

With a lot more bills to pay

And thought about the years gone by

And regrets along the way

Chorus:

BUT NOW I'M LIVING FOR TODAY

NOT THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST.

DON'T WANT TO MISS THOSE SHOOTING STARS

THAT COME AND GO SO FAST.

TOO MANY WARM EMBRACES MISSED,

TOO MANY KISSES LEFT UNKISSED

NO SENSE IN LOOKING BACK/ Now I greet each sunrise/I greet each sunrise now

OR DWELLING ON THE PAST/As if it were my last

I'M LIVING FOR TODAY


A brand new world's unfolding

Right before my eyes,

Each time I watch a bird take flight;

Hear a newborn baby’s sigh.

Wipe a teardrop from a lover’s cheek,

Or hold my aging mother’s hand.

These moments rise and then they're gone

Like waves upon the sand.

Repeat Chorus
Bridge:

It doesn't really matter, how many years have passed

Just dare to meet each sunrise

As if it were your last.

Repeat Chorus
