Yesterday I went and stole tomorrow
I put it in a box and shut the lid
Much to my delight and to it's sorrow
Stole the day. Yes, that's exactly what I did
It pounded on the box
and then it screamed out
of how sinful it can be to steal the dawn
But all that I could think of was of yesterday
and how much more I would enjoy it with tomorrow gone
Oh today.
What a glorious day.
Oh tonight.
What a glorious night.
All the things that could happen to spoil my dream
have been locked up and put out of sight
What a dream that I have
What a dream that I see
Oh but what a disaster tomorrow could be
So yesterday I went and stole tomorrow
I put it in a box and closed the lid
Much to my delight and to it's sorrow
Stole the day, yes that's exactly what I did
Oh today!
What a glorious day!
Oh right now!
What a glorious now!
All the things that I think are forever somehow
are every and each of them now
