Barbra Streisand - What About Today? Lyrics

Barbra Streisand Lyrics

"What About Today?"

The tears I'm shedding now
I hear will dry in time
The fears I'm fearing now
I hear will die in time
But while I wait around for tomorrow
Watching life drift away
What about, yes what about, today?
I know if I just wait
The sun will shine someday
And when it does
The weather will be fine someday
But while the skies I search for tomorrow
Stay that same shade of grey
What about, yes what about, today?
'Til nirvana comes
What about today?
'Til Messiah comes
What about today?
'Til the mountains move
And oceans part
And angels sing
And life can start
What about, yes what about, today?
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life
Been lived for if it never comes

I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But non of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?
'Til nirvana comes
What about today?
'Til Messiah comes
What about today?
'Til the mountains move
And oceans part
And angels sing
And life can start
What about, yes what about, today?
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life
Been lived for if it never comes
I've heard a lot of toast to tomorrow
Non of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?
What about, yes what about, today?
