1)
LAST WEEK I PLAYED, WITH A LITTLE BABY.
I THOUGHT HOW SOON, HE'D BE A MAN.
BUT TODAY FOR THE LAST TIME, DADDY ROCKED HIS CRADLE.
HIS FEVERED BROW, BURND HIS LOVING HAND.
2)
DADDY WORKED HARD, TO RAISE HIS CHILDREN.
NOW THE TIME FOR HIM, TO RETIRE HAD COME.
WE ALL GATHERED HOME, FOR A CELEBRATION.
BUT GOD CALLED HIM, DADDY'S WORK IS DONE.
3)
WHEN THE BIRD SANG, IN MY GARDEN.
WARM SUMMER DAYS, SEEMED HERE TO STAY.
BUT AUTUMN CAME, CHILLY WINTERED FOLLOWED.
THE FLOWERS DIED, THE BIRD FLEW AWAY.
CHORUS
HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW
WE'RE HERE TO DAY AND GONE TOMORROW.
THAT'S HOW LIFE IN THIS WORLD IS
WELL THAT'S HOW LIFE IN THIS WORLD IS.
WE'RE HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW
WE'RE HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW.
BUT THERE'S A BETTER WORLD THAN THIS
BUT THERE'S A BETTER A BETTER WORLD THAN THIS.
