Live For Today 1917 'The Maid Of The Mountains'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Oct 2003

Though folks there be,
who never foresee
that the future holds anything pleasant;
who grimly cast their eyes on the past,
and who gaze all aghast at the present;
The golden rule
for sage or fool,
for prince, and poet and peasant
is come what may
at work or play,
to live, just live for today!

Sing hey! Sing ho!
There's no time like the present!
Sing ho! Sing hey!
There's no day like today!

When man's depress'd,
not feeling his best,
he'll lament over yesterday's sorrow;
And brood, what's more,
on worries galore,
that the fates have in store for the morrow.
Yet man has pow'r
from ev'ry hour
some gleams of sunshine to borrow,
so don't delay
but find a way,
to make the most of today!

Sing hey! Sing ho!
Take no thought for the morrow!
Sing ho! Sing hey!
Live, just live for today!
