Ive always loved this song from the musical "RENT". The character Roger is a former druggie who's been going through half a year of withdrawl and never leaves the house and likes this girl who lives in the downstairs apartment but wont take a chance on going out somewhere with her. Oh also he has AIDS cause of the drug use. Mimi has aids too but he doesn't realize this... Anyhow these are the lyrics...i first heard this in the peak of my panic attacks. The theme of RENT is "no day but today".
Roger
Who do you think you are
Barging in on me and my guitar?
Little girl - hey
The door is that way
You better go, you know
The fire's out anyway
Take your powder - take your candle
Your sweet whisper
I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes - goodbye, goodnight
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should - no!
Another time - another place
Our temperature would climb
There'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance
It'd be another play
Looking for romance?
Come back another day
Another day
Mimi
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today
Roger
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me - why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago - you might've lit up my heart
But the fire's dead - ain't never ever gonna start
Another time - another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day
Mimi
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today
Mimi & Others ..Roger in brackets singing at the same time.
I can't control (Control your temper)
My destiny (She doesn't see)
I trust my soul (Who says that there's a soul?)
My only goal is just
To be! (Just let me be)
There's only now (Who do you think you are?)
There's only here
Give in to love (Barging in on me and my)
Or live in fear (guitar)
No other path (Little girl, hey)
No other way (The door is that way)
No day but today (The fire's out anyway)
All
No day but today (Take your powder, take your candle)
No day but today (Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile
Your silhouette)
No day but today (Another time, another place
Another rhyme, a warm embrace)
No day but today (Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day)
No day but today
Anybody have a favorite song that inspires you???
