lyrics

If Not Today
Lisa Bastoni and Sean Staples
(c)(P) 2021 Sweet Ondine Music (BMI)/Wesley Park Music (BMI)

You can just sit quiet
Be the song that’s never sung
Let the sadness work you over
Hide from everyone
You can leave it till tomorrow
You can leave it up to fate
And if you’re waiting for a sign
How long are you gonna wait

You can be a wallflower
When the dancing starts
Be a February empty of little paper hearts
A new morning’s coming
And you’re right back where you’ve been
If not today
If not today then when

See the white church steeple
Against the blue of the sky
See the red buds on the branches
And it’s enough to make you cry
The snow is melting
And the river overflows
Maybe you’re not ready
But it seems you’re getting close

You can be a wallflower
When the dancing starts
Be a February empty of little paper hearts
A new morning’s coming
And you’re right back where you’ve been
If not today
If not today then when

It’s hard starting over
You can’t go home and you can’t stay here
Minutes turn to hours
Hours disappear

You can be a wallflower
When the dancing starts
Be a February empty of little paper hearts
A new morning’s coming
And you’re right back where you’ve been
If not today
If not today then when
