Lyrics by Claire Emily
I GOT TODAY
[Verse 1]
She used to worry 'bout the little things,
Bills on the table, broken wings,
Never knew she'd miss those ordinary days,
Now she'd give anything just to have them back again.
There's a pill beside the bed tonight,
A photograph underneath the light,
She whispers, “Lord, I don't need much...”
Just one more morning, one more touch.
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how we never know
What we're holding till we let it go...
[Chorus]
I got today, I got today,
And that's enough for me.
I got your hand, I got your smile,
I got you here with me.
I won't waste another minute
Wishing life away,
Tomorrow isn't promised,
But I got today.
Oh, I got today.
[Verse 2]
He sits beside her, holding her hand,
Saying, “We'll get through this somehow, we can.”
She looks at him and starts to smile,
“Baby, just stay with me a little while.”
They talk about the things they never did,
Places they dreamed of when they were kids,
Then she says, “Don't be afraid...”
“Love me while I'm here today.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the smallest things
Can mean everything...
[Chorus]
I got today, I got today,
And that's enough for me.
I got your hand, I got your smile,
I got you here with me.
I won't waste another minute
Wishing life away,
Tomorrow isn't promised,
But I got today.
[Bridge]
Call your mama, tell her you love her,
Hold somebody a little longer,
Say “I'm sorry,” say “I forgive,”
Don't wait for tomorrow to start living.
[Final Chorus]
I got today, I got today,
So I'm gonna make it count.
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna love,
I'm gonna sing it loud.
And if tomorrow takes me
Where I cannot stay,
I'll leave this world knowing
I didn't waste today.
[Outro]
I got today...
I got your love...
I got today...
And that's enough.
She used to worry 'bout the little things,
