It's Only Today That Counts Songtext / Lyric

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.
