ADD: Yesterday Is History, Tomorrow Is a Mystery

I recently heard a Daniel O'Donnell special on television. He sang "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery." It was a great song, and I would love to have the lyrics and guitar chords. Hopefully, somebody out there has also heard this wonderful song. Thanks for your help.

I was thinking this thread involved a song about the computer game Myst but I guess we'll have to compose one.

Sorry, Alley, to derail your thread.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

The song is called 'Tomorrow'. Can't remember all the words, but someone like Dicky Valentine or Dennis Lotis used to sing it back in the '50s. I remember that last phrase as:-

Yesterday is history, today is still a mystery,
But what a day it's going to be tomorrow!

From: Willa

Favorite song
ONLY THIS MOMENT IS MINE
(Sung by Daniel O'Donnell)

There's so many things we'd change if we lived our lives again,
So many things we would and would not do.
All the past mistakes we've made and the price that we have paid.
Oh, how we would live if we could start anew.

CHORUS: But there is no going back and we can't change the past,
Or turn back the hands of time.
Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery,
And I know that only this moment is mine.

There are things we would never try and tears we'd never cry,
If we had known the hill was far too steep.
We'd have never tumbled down or fallen in and drowned,
If we had known the river was so deep.

(CHORUS REPEAT)

So it's best if we forget the things we now regret,
For we can not go back and change the past.
Let us use those old mistakes, a better life to make,
And tomorrow we may find that dream at last.

(CHORUS REPEAT TWICE)

Someone added: Today is a gift- that's why it's called the present.

Jim, both lyrics (which incidentally were posted in this thread by Willa on 29 Dec 04 - 04:35 PM) and chords are at the following link. It also has a neat-o "change it to any key you want" feature for those who have difficulty with key transpositions.

Yesterday is history, today it is a mystery, but what a day it's going to be tomorrow.
