  • A child held up in the sky
    To sunset youth, we say goodbye
    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
    I 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
    I 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 to get it back

    It's gone tomorrow, here today, woo
    Oh, I said, it's gone tomorrow but it's here today
    I won't let it slip away

    Oh oh, won't let it slip away
    Oh oh won't let it slip away, slip away
    Oh oh let it slip away Writer/s: JEFF BHASKER, KEITH URBAN, SAMUEL TYLER JOHNSON

  • Denise P from Maple Ridge BcI have long since been a huge Keith Urban Fan from the beginning and this is one song I have always connected to. In fact it is still my favorite to date. Just recently after New years and it being January of 2024 I was sitting at my parents place reading an autobiography on Keith Urban. I came to the part where his dad died of prostate cancer and here I am sitting in the kitchen of my parents place while my dad is also sick with prostate cancer in bed at that very moment. It took every ounce of strength to not cry at that very moment for him and myself. As life goes on my dad passed the following week. :(
    It was the hardest two weeks of my life and I shall forever connect with this song even more. I did not even know until that moment he had written it on behalf of his dad and as well to show life does go on. I will always be grateful for Keith and this song!
