Death comes so suddenly and you never know Who it's going to take, life is short and sweet Live your life no matter what it takes Usually, the good die first, so much to live for It makes you wonder why. Mourn, in black we cry and the very next day You could be the next to die The next to die Self seeking must slip away Salvation, on your knees and pray Live your life one day at a time You never know you could be the next to die So live for today Maybe no tomorrow Live for today Maybe sadness and sorrow Live for today Yesterday is history and tomorrow is only a dream If your living your past and you dream of tomorrow Nothing left for today Live for today The next to die.
