Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Embrace Today, Cherish Tomorrow: Life's Fleeting Dance by Jordan Roberts
Lyrics
Everybody wants Grandpas to live forever
Emphasizes the desire for grandparents to live indefinitely.
Cherish every moment you have together
Encourages appreciating and valuing moments spent with loved ones.
Cause life has a way of slippin' on by so
Reflects on the fleeting nature of life.
Hug your momma, hang with friends
Advises showing affection to one's mother and spending time with friends.
Don't ever pass up a chance to hold her hand
Stresses the importance of not missing opportunities to connect with a loved one.
Don't ever think today's on replay
Caution against assuming that today will repeat itself.
Cause it's here today, gone tomorrow
Highlights the transient nature of life – here today, gone tomorrow.
You don't got one second to borrow
Underlines the scarcity of time; no time to waste.
So don't go and waste a single minute on sorrow
Discourages dwelling on sorrow and advocates making the most of every moment.
Just grab her hand, give her a dance
Encourages seizing the moment to dance and connect with a loved one.
Cause ain't no tellin' if there'll ever be another chance
Expresses uncertainty about future opportunities.
Treat yesterday like it's been long gone
Suggests not dwelling excessively on the past; focus on the present.
Cause what's here today, could be gone tomorrow
Reiterates the transience of what exists today.
Like an old midwestern wind
Compares the impermanence to an old midwestern wind.
Once a days gone it ain't comin back again
Emphasizes that once a moment is gone, it won't return.
So hold your babies until they're old
Advises cherishing time with children, as it may become a cherished memory.
Cause man you never know when you'll want that chance
Stresses the unpredictability of future desires for missed chances.
Live everyday like it's your last
Encourages living each day as if it were the last.
Don't ever let a single memory pass
Urges not letting precious memories slip away.
It's here today, gone tomorrow
Reiterates the ephemeral nature of life.
You don't got one second to borrow
Reemphasizes the scarcity of time.
So don't go and waste a single minute on sorrow

Cause what's here today, could be gone tomorrow

There's only so much time in a day
