Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Lyrics by Hazel Dickens

It’s Hard to Tell the Singer from the Song

0

Last week I played with a tiny baby
I thought how soon he'd be a man
But 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
Then his time to retire had come
We gathered here for a celebration
But 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
