No Day But Today

This song is originally from RENT. Idina Menzel, who played the original Maureen, re-did it into a slow, pop version for which she sings live during her concerts. I adore the lyrics to this song and try to remind myself of them daily...

We should all take time to remind ourselves that each and every day could not only be our last, but the last of those around us. The last of the ones we care about. So take every opportunity to love....and to live.

And remember...time you wasted having fun with friends was not actually time wasted.





There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret-- or life is yours to miss.
No other road
No other way
No day but today

There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what is alright
No other course
No other way
No day but today

I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only hope
is just to be

There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today
