More Than Today Songtext
von Robin Grey

How many songs have these worn heartstrings still got left?
I awoke this morning off-key and quite bereft
But well, my pen it is still willing and the paper it receives
Caught up with the Moorhead and we joked about our dreams

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, dear, you′d better stay
I couldn't care about you any more than I do now today

Patience is a virtue, good things come to those who wait
But who will be the judge of when the hour is getting late?
And anyway, there is that other one about fish and the sea
Pick your cliché, start the clock, compare notes over tea

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, dear, you′d better stay
I couldn't care about you any more than I do now today


Spring it turns to summer just as night it turns to day
When in the autumn of our years will we pine away
About how foolish and how young we were, how little we all knew?
I love all my mistakes and well, this heart it still beats true

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, dear, you'd better stay
I couldn′t care about you any more than I do now today

Actions speak louder than words, but what about a song?
A most prolific muse you′ve been, I've toiled here late and long
Into the night, trying to make sense of all these things and more
Like why I feel the way I do when you walk through the door

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, dear, you′d better stay
I couldn't care about you any more than I do now today

My pen it has momentum but the day waits for no man
There are so many things I know I′ll never understand
I'll be here in September, for the rest I cannot say
I′m sure of change, death and taxes, sunshine and of rain

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, dear, you'd better stay
I couldn't care about you any more than I do now today
