The First Day of Tomorrow

Today is the first day of tomorrow
So long to yesterday and the past it leaves behind 
Through our childrens lives tomorrow never ends
but now the two of us are cast aside

Invulnerable to the petty nonsense we create
Just look into their eyes
and know here and now that its all for them 
no more worrying about each others lies

Today is the first day of tomorrow
So long to yesterday and the past it leaves behind
Just think about their future and what it holds 
For this we will always be intertwined

The love we began seven years ago now no longer shines
The focus now is the tomorrow of their tomorrow and the sparkles in their eyes
and know here and now thats its all for them 
severed vows for me and you and all our ties that bind

Today is the first day of tomorrow
so long to yesterday and the path it leaves behind
Rebuilding lives and moving on 
The two of us will never see eye to eye
