Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Lyrics by Mike & The Mechanics

I met a man back in the future
He was high then he was low
You know his one consideration
Should he come or should he go

I met a girl she wants to give me
The gift of living just for today
Ignore the past ignore the future
Youre only going to wish your life away - say

Chorus:

Why cant today be tomorrow
Why must there be yesterday
Why cant today be tomorrow
Oh tell me why please tell me why
Are you wishing your life away?

You know that life is no rehearsal
Youre never going to get it right
Its inconsistent and its imperfect
Its going to give you sleepless nights

And then you find you wake up nervous
For every reason under the sun
Life is full of indecision
Its the same for everyone - say

(chorus)

Why cant today be tomorrow
Why must there be yesterday - so tell me
Why cant today be tomorrow - oh tell me
Why cant today be tomorrow
Are you wishing youre life away
Why cant today be tomorrow?
