Story Behind The Song
This song was written by a couple who went through a very difficult time with addiction, whose marriage survived through recovery. Just For Today is Lori's poem which I found quite engaging and poignant; and was moved to set it to music.

Lyrics
JUST FOR TODAY By Lori and Randy Patterson
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA SAY
MY WORLD?S NOT SO BAD
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA PRAY
FOR THE STRENGTH TO SEE THINGS THROUGH
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA MAKE
MY ACTIONS STRONGER THAN WORDS
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA TAKE
ALL THE LOVE YOU HAVE TO GIVE
JUST FOR TODAY
I WON?T BREAK
THE PROMISES I?VE MADE TO YOU
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA WAKE
TO EVERYTHING I?VE WANTED
(bridge)
AND DANDILIONS ON THE WIND
REMIND ME OF ME AND YOU
CLOSING OUR EYES AND WISHING TO CATCH OUR DREAM
BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS INTO THE AIR
AS THOUGH NO ONE WAS THERE TO CARE
IF IT CAME TRUE
JUST FOR TODAY
I?LL STAND BY THE LAKE
AND NOT TURN FROM MY REFLECTION
JUST FOR TODAY
I WON?T FAKE
A SMILE INSTEAD OF A TEAR
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA FORSAKE
ALL THE FEAR THAT STANDS BETWEEN US
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA PRAY
FOR THE STRENGTH TO SEE THINGS THROUGH
JUST FOR TODAY
I?M GON?NA PRAY
JUST FOR TODAY
