[Verse 1]
Empty nights, endless days
Sometimes love turns out that way
Yes I know, it went too fast
But you can't keep livin' your life in the past

[Chorus]
Today's the first day of the rest of your life
It's up to you to make the best of your life
Open your eyes, it's a, it's another day

[Verse 2]
She was there, she was gone
You don't know how you'll get along
I've been there, and I recall
Better that than never to have loved at all

[Chorus]
Today's the first day of the rest of your life
You've got to go and make the best of your life
For every night, there's a, there's another day

[Bridge]
Yes, you say you've been in love before
You've been around and you know the score
But when the tears fill your eyes
Then sometimes they can blind you
[Verse 3]
So my friend, you must know
Love will come, and love may go
But when it does don't despair
Every space has someone just meant to be there

[Chorus]
Today's the first day of the rest of your life
I know you're gonna make the best of your life
Today's the first day of the rest of your life
Lift up your eyes, it's the rest of your life

[Outro]
Today's the first day of the rest of your life
I know you're gonna make the best of your life
Lift up your eyes, it's the rest of your life
