Last week I played with a tiny baby
I thought how soon he'd be a man
But the day came last time
Rock his cradle he's
Oh here today, and gone tomorrow
That's how life in this world is
Oh here today and gone tomorrow
There's a better world than ths
Daddy worked hard to raise a family
Then his time come
We gathered here for celebration
But God called him, his work is done
Oh here today, and gone tomorrow
That's how life in this world is
Oh here today and gone tomorrow
There's a better world than ths
Oh the bluebirds sing out in my garden
Summer days are here to stay
But autumn came and winter followed
My flowers died, the birds flew away
