˙Today (John Denver)

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine

I'll taste your strawberries I'll drink your sweet wine

A million tomorrows shall all pass away

Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.

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...

I can't be contented with yesterday's glory

I can't live on promises winter to spring

Today is my moment and now is my story

I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing

Today...

˙be contented with=be satisfied with
