Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Last week I played with a tiny baby, I thought how soon you'd be a man. Well today for the last time, Mama rocked his cradle, His fevered brow, her loving hand. Oh here today, and gone tomorrow, That's how life in this world is. Oh here today, and gone tomorrow, There's a better world than this. Daddy worked hard to raise a family, This his time to retire had come. We gathered here for a celebration, God called him, his work is done. Oh here today, and gone tomorrow, That's how life in this world is. Oh here today, and gone tomorrow, There's a better world than this. Oh the bluebirds sing out in my garden, Warm summer days are here to stay. But Autumn came, and Winter followed, My flowers died, the birds flew away. Oh here today, and gone tomorrow, That's how life in this world is. Oh here today, and gone tomorrow, There's a better world than this.
