about

A song inspired by living in the present moment, created from dancing at a five rhythms class where the theme was time. This tune flowed through as I danced, I left early and rushed home to write it. I felt it deserved a place on this album due to it's subject and so it blossomed through 2020.

lyrics

Trying to re-live a memory,
Hanging onto something that can never be,
Yesterday is history so,
Let it go,
Set it free,
And you'll see that,
Thinking of tomorrow when it isn't here,
Makes today so cloudy that it isn't clear,
But when you're in the present it's a gift of time,
Yours and mine,
Let it shine

Chorus
The only time we ever have is now,
And you're here with me and we are free somehow,

When you're looking backward you can feel regret,
Fearful that tomorrow hasn't happened yet,
But when you're in the present it's a gift of time,
Yours and mine coz,
When you're in the present you can truly see,
What a gift that being alive can truly be
And with an open heart then you can share your joy,
Girl and boy,
Happy soul,

Chorus
The only time we ever have is now,
And you're here with me and we are free somehow,
Yeah the only time we ever have i now,

Bridge,
Learn to love your skin,
Coz it's the one you're living in,
Learn to love your skin,
Coz it's the one you're living in,
Now are you listening to me or are you miles away?
Coz there's no time like the present and it's here today,
And being here with you is such a lovely thing,
And being in the present makes my heart sing,

Chorus
Yeah the only time we ever have is now,
And your here with me and we are free somehow,
The only time the only time,
Only time the only time,
Coz time is an illusion don't you know
So let it go,
Through the clock out of the window,
Be here with me,
And just be free,
