Marc Almond - But Not Today lyrics

Flowers on the rail So sadly in the rain Tomorrow they'll decay But not today They miss you and they cry So young they weep oh why In rain and cold they'll stay But not today Today my world is lightning up with laughter Today's the day that I forget to cry Today's a kind of happy ever after Today is the day you didn't die Photo on the gate To watch them as they wait A silence as they pray But not today Softly singing songs Hymns that to you belong Say what they need to say But not today Today the sun will shine a little brighter Today's the day my heart begins to fly Today my troubles feel a little lighter Today is the day you didn't die A lonely teddy bear So sadly hanging there A child without its play But not today A vigil every year And poems splashed with tears So nearly was that way But not today But not today But not today But not today
