It's Only Today That Counts - Larry Norman

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
