There is a time
And there is a place
Where I'll sit around
And live out my days

I will be old and calm,
Watching lives go by
I will ponder my own,
And sometimes cry

Remember, I will,
The days of my life
The good like sweet nectar,
The bad like a knife

But that day is not today,
And it's surely not tomorrow
It lies a time years from now
After surviving much sorrow

But for now I'll live my life,
Without so much as a care
Whether I live my life rich,
Or leave my pockets bare

I could travel to places far,
Or stay close to home
I could love someone special,
Or remain forever alone

So many decisions to be made,
They could be decided now or later
I could be a sweet lover,
Or become a dangerous hater

Yesterday has happened,
And the future is to be decided
So I'll live through today,
And let my fears be subsided
