Lyrics

TELL THEM TODAY by Michael Goldman ©2004

We met on a wind-blown day in Niagara
And fell in love the old-fashioned way
We hiked on a trail down by the river
I tripped, she caught me and started to say

Let me tell you I love you today
You know we could die tomorrow
It sounded funny when she said it that way
And I never thought that tomorrow would come.

We settled not far from her folks in Hampstead
Work was hard, but what is work anyway
She held our child so new from creation
Looked up at me and I heard her say

Let me tell you I love you today
We can?t know about tomorrow
It sounded funny when she said it that way
And I never thought that tomorrow would come

After our second the fast lane took over
Filling our days with family and friends
Then that crash no fool could have dreamed of
Her love was gone but somehow never ends

She always said I love you today
You know I could die tomorrow
It sounded funny when she said it that way
And I never thought that tomorrow would come

There?s a garden where hope is an anchor
Where the wind brings memories then blows them away
Where two kids play when it?s their bedtime
I chase them in and remember to say

Tell the ones you love about it today
We can?t know about tomorrow
Your mother would have wanted it that way
Tell the ones you love about it today

So let me tell you I love you today
We can?t know about tomorrow
I know it sounds funny when you say it that way
Just tell the ones you love about it today.
