[Verse 1]
Dust yourself off from the fall
Close your tired eyes and maybe tomorrow
Brings the answers that you seek
If not tomorrow then, maybe in a couple weeks

[Chorus]
But today, I'll stop to smell the roses
And hold on 'til the day they melt away
'Cause maybe if I can't live for tomorrow
I might as well keep living for today

[Verse 2]
And now the wind blows a little colder
And we might celebrate another year, growing older
Another question left for answer
Another problem for a version that comes after

[Chorus]
But today, I'll stop to smell the roses
And hold on 'til the day they melt away
'Cause maybe if I can't live for tomorrow
I might as well keep living for today

[Bridge]
When I look upon the burdens that I've shouldered
I guess that I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause if living for today might finally get me for tomorrow
Then I know I'll find my way someday
[Chorus]
But today, I'll stop to smell the roses
And hold on 'til the day they melt away
'Cause maybe if I can't live for tomorrow
I might as well keep living for today
