Shirley Bassey - What About Today lyrics

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 some day 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 none 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 toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today? What about today?
What about, yes, what about today?
