(as recorded by Glen Campbell)
(from the album 'The Last Time I Saw Her')
Written by Jerry Hubbard
When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise
And as its beauty struck the darkness
From the sky
I thought how small and unimportant
All my troubles seem to be
And how lucky another day
Belongs to me
And as the sleepy world around me
Woke up to greet the day
All its silent beauty
Seemed to say
So what, my friend, if all your dreams
You haven't realized
Just look around you
You've got a new day to try
Chorus:
Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine
Like most men I curse the present
Void of peace of mind
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow
Envision there a sweeter time
But as I view this day around me
I can see the fool I've been
For today's the only garden
That we can tend
Repeat chorus and end.
