Today
Tom Scott (With The California Dreamers) Lyrics

Today is the greatest
The present moment is the most amazing and exceptional one.

Day I've ever known
I have never had a day so wonderful and marvelous as this one.

Can't live for tomorrow,
It is not possible to exist for the day after today,

Tomorrow's much too long
Tomorrow is too extensive a period to wait for anything.

I'll burn my eyes out
I would rather blind myself permanently than forfeit this perfect moment.

Before I get out
I would rather die than lose this experience by leaving abruptly.

I wanted more
I had higher expectations and aspirations,

Than life could ever grant me
However, actuality does not offer me as much as I hoped for.

Bored by the chore
I am jaded by the recurring requirement,

Of saving face
To avoid disgrace, I must maintain a positive image before others.

Can't wait for tomorrow
I am impatiently anticipating the next day,

I might not have that long
Because life is unpredictable and brief, I cannot take anything for granted.

I'll tear my heart out
I would rather rip my heart out than miss the possible opportunity of tomorrow.

Pink ribbon scars
These fading marks of past injuries will always be a reminder,

That never forget
Those memories will always remember how much I was hurt.

I tried so hard
I worked diligently and relentlessly,

To cleanse these regrets
in order to eliminate these feelings of remorse and disappointment.

My angel wings
The qualities that distinguished me as unique and exceptional,

Were bruised and restrained
Were prevented and inhibited by external forces

My belly stings
The pain that I experience in my gut

I want to turn you on
I desire to engage and excite you,

I want to turn you on
I desire to engage and excite you,

I want to turn you on
I desire to engage and excite you,

I want to turn you
I want to give you pleasure and enjoyment.

Today is the greatest day
Today is truly the most exceptional and phenomenal day.

Today is the greatest day
Today is truly the most exceptional and phenomenal day.

Today is the greatest day
Today is truly the most exceptional and phenomenal day.

That I have ever really known
Out of all my life experiences, this day outshines everything else.
