[Verse 1]
My mama told me when I was a child
Said "All the best things take a little while"
But mama was wrong, wrong, wrong
Best things in life come and they go, go, go
In a blink of an eye

[Chorus]
You got to leave me here for today
'Cause tomorrow might never come your way
Forget about next week
Forget about next year
You got to meet for today
Today is right here
Yesterday is right here
’Cause today is right here
Today is right here

[Verse 2]
See that black bird flying
See that fox on the road
They don't think about tomorrow
'Cause it might nevеr come
Count the stars in the morning
At thе break of dawn
You’re not thinking about yesterday
'Cause it's already gone, already gone
[Chorus]
You got to leave me here for today
'Cause tomorrow might never come your way
Forget about next week
Forget about next year
You got to meet for today
Today is right here
Yesterday is right here
'Cause today is right here
Today is right here

[Verse 1]
My mama told me when I was a child
Said all the best things take a little while
But mama was wrong, wrong, wrong
Best things in life come and they go, go, go
In a blink of an eye

[Outro]
In a blink of an eye, in a blink of an eye
Although I love my mama, yeah
Mama was wrong
