Lyrics:

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I値l taste your strawberries, I値l drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
there I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I値l be a dandy, and I値l be a rover
You値l know who I am by the songs that I sing
I値l feast at your table, I値l sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I値l taste your strawberries, I値l drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
there I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I can稚 be contented with yesterday痴 glory
I can稚 live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I値l laugh and I値l cry and I値l sing

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I値l taste your strawberries, I値l drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
there I forget all the joy that is mine, today
