The Last Day
Here is the lyrics of Marylin Scott's "The Last Day." It has been one of my favorites since I heard it on the radio years ago. It is absolutely beautiful and touching. I would sing it to you If you can hear me (smile)...
If today were the last of all days,
Would it change how you feel, who you are?
Would you rise for a moment above all your fears,
Become one with the moon and the stars?
Would you like what you see looking down?
Did you give everything that you could?
Have you done everything that you wanted to do?
Is there still so much more that would?
Follow your dream to the end of the rainbow,
Way beyond one pot of gold.
Open your eyes to the colors around you,
And find the true beauty life holds.
Would you live for the moment like when you were young,
When time didn’t travel so fast?
Be free in the present,
Enjoying the now,
Not tied to a future or past.
You would probably say all you wanted to say,
But doesn’t strike you as strange.
That we'd only begin to start living our lives,
If today were the last of all days?
“The Last Day”
Lyrics by: Brenda Russell/John Ewbank
From the CD “Avenues of Love” Artist: Marilyn Scott
"If today were the last of all days, what would I do?"
No more "someday I will..."
Today I felt as if I were dying in a few days. It was a stange feeling. It made me want to get rid of most of my stuff. I have too many books and papers and lots of clothes that I do not wear. They all become meaningless and valueless after I cease.
If today were the last of all days,
Would it change how you feel, who you are?
Would you rise for a moment above all your fears,
Become one with the moon and the stars?
Would you like what you see looking down?
Did you give everything that you could?
Have you done everything that you wanted to do?
Is there still so much more that would?
Follow your dream to the end of the rainbow,
Way beyond one pot of gold.
Open your eyes to the colors around you,
And find the true beauty life holds.
Would you live for the moment like when you were young,
When time didn’t travel so fast?
Be free in the present,
Enjoying the now,
Not tied to a future or past.
You would probably say all you wanted to say,
But doesn’t strike you as strange.
That we'd only begin to start living our lives,
If today were the last of all days?

英語はよくわかりませんが
英語はよくわかりませんので、ちゃんと文章を把握できたか自信ありませんが．．．。
“The Last Day”はとても素敵な詩だと思いました。なんだかamerican native の人たちの詩のような気がします。
それに上のコメントも素敵です。
“Today I felt as if I were dying in a few days.” に私は少しドキッとしましたけど（なんせ英語なんで、字面を解釈するのが精一杯(^_^;)）、“Congratulations!”を見て安心しました。あ、そういうことだったんだ、と。
私もおめでとうございます、と言わせてもらいます。新生るるどさんは、どんなるるどさんなんでしょうか（smile）

愚樵さん コメントありがとう
The Last Dayの音楽も素敵ですよ。いつか、聞いてもらいたいなぁ！
新生るるどでもないのですけれど・・・。
過去との区切りをつけるのがへたくそで、さよならを言うのが苦手な私は、実は、『卒業式』は大の苦手なのです。
一ヶ月くらい前から涙、涙しています。過去の卒業式の写真は泣いてばかりいるので、良い写真が残っていません・・・。
“Today I felt as if I were dying in a few days.”と書いたのは・・・。最近、周りに目の前の死と向き合って生きている人や、他界した人が少なくないのでついつい死について考えます。また、自分の体調もすぐれないこともあり、「もしか・・・」なんて考えてしまったり（笑）。 取り越し苦労だと言われていますが笑）。

jksk さん THANK YOU for your comment!

It is very difficult to say "good bye."
I remembered how I got emotional when I had to say "good bye" to the group of people, remember?
I go through the same thing over and over when I have to be apart from people whom I have spent time with. I seem to get attached to people very easily.
Well, I should not look back too much.
Thank you for your uplifting words!
