No Time Like Today

Long ago, before she died
I asked my mother as I cried
Will you live as long as I
As a tear appeared in her blue eyes

As I've grown and life's gone by
I often sit and wonder why
I didn't find a better way
To fill my only given days

There's no time like today
To just stand up and walk away
Don't just let the years go by
Before you have to say goodbye

Most times I can't remember
What I did last November
And as I sit and watch the screen
I think of all the things unseen

I haven't seen the northern lights
Or many european sites
I think of all the days I wasted
And all the foreign food untasted

There's no time like today
To just stand up and walk away
Don't just let the years go by
Before you have to say goodbye

One more road
One more dawn
One more chance
Before it's gone

There's no time like today
To just stand up and walk away
Don't just let the years go by
Before you have to say goodbye
