Another Day

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
I can't control
(Control your temper)
My destiny
(She doesn't see)
I trust my soul
(Who says there is a soul?)
My only goal is just to be
(Just let me be)
There's only now, there's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path, no other way
No day but today...

No day but today
(The fire's out anyway)
No day but today...
(Take your powder, take your candle)
No day but today...
(Take your brown eyes, your pretty smiles, your sillhouette)
No day but today...
(Another time, another place, another warm embrace)
No day but today...
(Another dance, another way, another chance, another day...)
No day but today
