(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)

From the albums DOWN HOME (1970), SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974) and 

TODAY (1998, 2000).



Today went so softly, just faded away.

Like the rain in the springtime. 

On that day, I met you. I met you, when I met you.



Today went so quietly, I turned and it was gone.

Like you, like me, it was lonely.

It went on, it went on, it went on, it went on.



Then a beautiful thing happened, and we were one.

And all the world was a beautiful face to be lost in.



Today went so quickly, just a moment in time.

Like the hours in springtime.

When you were mine, you were mine, you were mine, you were mine.



Then a beautiful thing happened, and we were one.

And all the world was a beautiful face to be lost in.

Today! Today!
