Nixon in China: Act II, Scene I. Beginning Songtext
von Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Edo de Waart

I don′t daydream and don't look back
In this world you can′t count on luck
I think what is to be will be in spite of us
I treat each day like Christmas
I think what is to be will be in spite of us
I think what is to be will be in spite of us
I treat each day like Christmas
I treat each day, I treat each day like Christmas
Never have I cared for trivialities Good Lord, trivial things are not for me
Good Lord, trivial things are not for me
I come from a poor family
I come from a poor family
I treat each day like Christmas
I treat each day like Christmas
I come from a poor family
Trivial things are not for me
Trivialities are not for me
