I could say that the world will be here tomorrow
You might agree that it's so
When I know that only a fool would say so
I could pledge you my time planning the future
As if it were something I owned
Build a home somewhere to spend the last years

And father time would grin
And mistress fate would beckon me in
And then ask me why
I didn't try to live for the moment I'm in

I could say that we'll be lovers for ever
Watching the seasons go by
Who'd deny that it would be nice and easy
So I give you my life and for this moment
Nothing can take it away
For today please take this love I give you

Or father time would grin
And mistress fate would beckon me in
And then ask me why
I didn't try to live for the moment I'm in
