Story Behind The Song

Listen to the percussion track! Steven and the drummer were trying for an effect they couldn't get with the kit so they went in the alley beside the studio and got the lid off a trash can. Wish we'd kept it...none of the trash can cymbals we've found

Lyrics

Up outa bed to watch the sunrise
Sleep too late and you miss the opening show
Â?Cause I donÂ?t know what tomorrow brings
I donÂ?t know if tomorrow sings
TodayÂ?s a day that has never been before

Signed up at the college for some Spanish
Thought IÂ?d learn un poco espaol
Â?Cause I donÂ?t know what tomorrow brings
I donÂ?t know if tomorrow sings
My mind could use expanding donÂ?t you know

Called you up to tell you that I love you
To hear a friendly voice and say hello
Â?Cause I donÂ?t know what tomorrow brings
I donÂ?t know if tomorrow sings
If I donÂ?t say it, how you gonna know

We live as if weÂ?re gonna live forever
The rabbit sleeps while life goes plodding by
ThereÂ?s what there is and then no more
The door stays open twenty-four
Hours less than this time yesterday

ItÂ?s long past time to tell you that IÂ?m sorry
PrideÂ?s a lame companion next to you
Â?Cause I donÂ?t know what tomorrow brings
I donÂ?t know if tomorrow sings
And I donÂ?t want this burden any more

Late last night I turned and faced my Maker
Strange enough for me I said a prayer
Â?Cause I donÂ?t know what tomorrow brings
I donÂ?t know if tomorrow sings
So I made plans to sing with angels there
