Today Is All You'Ve Got

Our life is but a vapor in

The history of time.

So every day should be well-lived 

To make it all sublime.

Yes, live each day like it’s your last. 

Go out and have a ball.

Go on and do that bungee jump 

Or shopping at the mall.

Just live it up a little and

Have fun with all your friends. 

’Cause all of this will cease one day, 

That day when your life ends.

Tell your family that you love them. 

Hug them and pull them tight.

And let them know that you’ll be there 

For them each day and night.

Yes, make each day a special day. 

Tell jokes and laugh a lot.

’Cause tomorrow’s never promised. 

Today is all you’ve got.
