A child held up in the sky But I won't live with regret Carpe Diem is the secret 'Cause it's Gone tomorrow, here today I ain't gonna waste it Ain't gonna waste it No, it's gone tomorrow But it's here today I won't let it slip away I feel the rush, it's kicking in And I wish this night would never end, no We're never coming back around Like shooting stars, we're burning out It's Gone tomorrow, here today I ain't gonna waste it Ain't gonna waste it No it's gone tomorrow But it's here today I won't let it slip away I wanna feel, wanna touch the light I look around for the friends that have gone and I'm reminded that it's all just a fantasy But we get to choose what we wanna believe And I wanna believe that there's something more Another level to the dream, right through the door But right now's for real and it's fading fast Better live 'cause we're never gonna get it back It's gone tomorrow, here today I said, it's gone tomorrow but it's here today I won't let it slip away I won't let it slip away I won't let it slip I won't let it slip away
