Some people say, that come what may,
We've gotta live just for today.
It's just a game we play, each and every day,
Until we fade away.
Maybe I should say to you,
Wake up, that's all we gotta do.

You've gotta live your life, for today and not tomorrow,
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow.
Just live your life,
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today.

What can it be, that makes me see,
All the things you've done to me?
But now you're mine, just let it shine,
Don't come around and waste my time.
Maybe I should say to you,
Get up, that's all we've gotta do.

You've gotta live your life, for today and not tomorrow,
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow.
Just live your life,
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today.

Don't let anybody tell you how to feel,
Don't let everybody tell you it's not real.
I don't believe that I could reinvent your will,
'Cause no-one tells me how to live my life.

You've gotta live your life, for today and not tomorrow,
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow.
Just live your life,
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today.

Live your life, for today and not tomorrow,
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow.
Just live your life,
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today.
