| Lyrics |
-peak Billboard position # 17 in 1964-from the movie "
Advance To the Rear" starring Glenn Ford, Stella
Stevens,-
Melvyn Douglas, Joan Blondell, Jim Backus, and Andrew Prine-
Words and Music by Minstrels' leader Randy Sparks
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 song that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring?
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring (winter to spring)
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
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 mi-uh-ine today
