Lyrics

VERSE
She was taking too long in the checkout line
I was standing behind; she was wasting my time
And, besides, my ice cream was beginning to melt
Even so, I didn’t say what I felt

VERSE
The reason for that is that I’d seen her face
And my heart was beginning to race
So I forgot the ice cream – you know what I mean?
And when she said, “Sorry,” I got lost in the dream

First PRE-CHORUS
And now, we’re a long way from there

CHORUS
Today will be so amazing
That yesterday will be utterly mad
'Cause yesterday was the best day, oh, we’ve ever had
But today will be downright breathtaking

VERSE
Bought the ice cream real fast; she was sorting her cart
I needed to ask; needed someplace to start
Could she use my help getting all that stuff in her car?
She smiled and said, “Yes, it’s not very far.”

Second PRE-CHORUS
How we got from there to here, no words could express

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Such is my love for her
That tomorrow will be better than today
And the next day will be even better than that

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
And the next day will be even better than that
