HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW

Here today, Gone tomorrow,
Some things just don't last.
Feeling down and can't get up?
Rest awhile, this too shall pass!

Here today, Gone tomorrow -
What was then is no more.
Look ahead to happy moments,
More the memories to store!

Tomorrow is a brand new day,
All your cares may soon be gone.
Love was yours but it has vanished;
Tomorrow brings new love along!

Here today, Gone tomorrow,
Roses bloom and fade away;
Yet the fragrance of the flower
Stays with you day after day.

Left with memories, I imagine
That if I turn back to see
All the things I used to cherish
Don't mean as much to me.

Look ahead to the future,
Don't live in constant sorrow -
Breathe the sweetness of the moment;
It's here today, but gone tomorrow.
