lyrics

​One two one [Spoken]

Well it ain’t no good to lay in bed at night
And think about the past
About how you coulda done things differently
But they just happened way too fast
Why don’t you close your eyes, go to sleep
And let the angels bring you dreams
Let those years unwind behind you
And float away on silent streams

You’ve got to live your life the best you can
Though you sometimes do your worst
You’ve got to laugh when you fail
It doesn’t matter anyway
Life is a play that’s unrehearsed
Don’t make too many plans for tomorrow
You can’t control what lies ahead
Why don’t you try to live each moment as it comes instead

(Ooh ooh) Sha la la la la la la la la la la
(Ooh ooh) etc

There’s no use dreaming of a perfect future (ooh ooh)
Or regretting a troubled past
It’s only today that counts
So live it like it might be your last
It’s only today that counts
So live it like it might be your last

Well it never helps to worry
And it never hurts to pray
And tomorrow will come soon enough
You better take care of today
You’ve got to learn to trust your life to God
You know the future’s in his hands
And only faith will help you meet your life’s demands
Yeah

There’s no use dreaming of a perfect future
Or regretting a troubled past
It’s only today that counts
So live it like it might be your last
It’s only today that counts
So live it like it might be your last
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’s only today that counts (yeah)
Live it like it might be your last
It’s only today that counts (yeah)
Live it like it might be your last
Come on, open up your heart and live
Open up your heart and live
You’ve got to live (live), live (live), live (live)
He’s coming back pretty soon
So come on, come on, come on live
You’ve got to live (live), live (live)
Do it while you can
Don’t waste your time, don’t waste your time
Make up your mind, make up your mind
​Come on
