Here Today...and Gone Tomorrow; 
A little joy...a little sorrow; 
Not ours to keep...but just to borrow, Lord. 
Here Today...and Gone Tomorrow. 

A child is born... in tribulation. 
He needs a friend...for consolation. 
He finds a love...in celebration, Lord, 
'cause you know how hard it is to be alone. 

Here Today...and Gone Tomorrow; 
A little joy...a little sorrow; 
Not ours to keep...but just to borrow, Lord. 
Here Today...and Gone Tomorrow. 

Silver hair...an old wool sweater 
With trembling hands...he writes a letter: 
"Dear old friend, I hope you're feeling better now, 
'cause you're all that I have left since she's gone." 

Here Today...and Gone Tomorrow. 
A little joy...a little sorrow. 
Not ours to keep...but just to borrow, Lord. 
Here Today and Gone Tomorrow.
