Campbell Glen Today Is Mine Lyrics

Today Is Mine Lyrics

(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.
