No Time Like Today lyrics

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
