My Songs

I was told that a good friend of mine played my song, 'Close to You' on her wedding day. I was touched. Always thought of playing it on mine. But, just in case that day never come, at least the song was played by someone I care about. Feel flattered that she finds the song as meaningful as I did.

This reminds me of another song that I have known and love for years. It is also an old song. Somehow the lyrics and melody of the song always gets to my heart. Funnily enough, I never really understood what the song means. For those who have not heard of it, you can listen to it (actually, the first 30 seconds of the song) by clicking at the song title. Would have uploaded it onto this blog had I known how to do it. Hope you people enjoy it as much as I do.

Today

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

Ill be a dandy, and Ill be a rover
Youll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table, Ill sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I cant be contented with yesterdays glory
I cant live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
Ill laugh and Ill cry and Ill sing

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
