TODAY IS A GIFT LYRICS P.DREDGE
I met a man on a lonely stretch of road and he offered to help me with my load
The day was dull and the night was setting in so I pitched my tent and then I asked him in
I talked all night while he just sat and heard about my past, he listened to every word
I told him of my half empty glass then he just smiled and said all things will pass
He said yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift
The next day we both up and left that town and he asked me why I always wear a frown
He told me that troubles and trials don’t last and it doesn’t help to dwell upon the past.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift
Next day we camped beside an unknown hill we talked of loss and love; no time to kill
I asked him what to do and what might be he just smiled and said you must believe
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift
Now I walk with my head held high and I smell the roses, walking by
In good times and bad, I don’t know how I just smile and think about the now.
