TODAY IS THAT TOMORROW
(Eugene Strasser / George Winters)


Charley Pride - 1970


 

You took her on so many times, always had your way
The hurt she hid behind a smile or turned her face away
You always thought of someone else, tomorrow was her day
But today is that tomorrow you thought of yesterday

Today is that tomorrow you always pushed aside
So sure you couldn't lose her, blinded with your pride
Yesterday she loved you, what a price it was to pay
Just to put off till tomorrow what you should have done today

(Instrumental Break)

It's so easy to remember now that it's too late
Some things you said to her you could have said a better way
You knew then the time would come when you would have to pay
Well today is that tomorrow you thought of yesterday

Today is that tomorrow you always pushed aside
So sure you couldn't lose her, blinded with your pride
Yesterday she loved you, what a price it was to pay
Just to put off till tomorrow what you should have done today
Just to put off till tomorrow what you should have done today
