It’s Only Today That Counts

It ain't no good to lay in bed at night
And think about the past
About how you could have done things differently
But it happened way too fast

Just close your eyes, go to sleep
Let the angels bring you dreams
Let that pain unwind behind you
And float away, float away on silent streams

You gotta live your life the best you can
Though you sometimes do your worst
You gotta laugh when you fail, it's not the end of the world
Life is a play you can't rehearse

Don't make big plans for tomorrow
You can't control what lies ahead
You must try to live each moment
As it comes instead

There is no use dreaming of a perfect future
Or regretting a troubled past
It's only today that counts
Live it like it might be your last

It's only today that counts
Live it like it might be your last
It never helps to worry, it never hurts to pray
Tomorrow will come soon enough;
Just pray about today
And relax, trust your life to God
The future is in his hand
Only faith will help you face each day's demands
Ain't no use worrying, life goes so fast

It's only today that counts
Live it like it might be your last
It's only today that counts
Live it like it might be your last
