Luther Vandross
Lyrics:
I've seen the skyline in New York City
Fireflies in Tennessee
Sipped a little 'shine from a paper sack
That'll knock the horns off a Cadillac
I must've sat on a dozen islands
I've watched the sun sink into the sea
Been there done that got the t-shirt and hat
But my favorite place to be is
Here and now
Nowhere else in this world tonight
You and me, ain't it good to be alive
Ain't no better place, ain't no better time
Than here and now
Everybody's waitin', but they're waitin' on what
Better get to livin' 'cause all we got is
Here and now
Think I fell in love for the first time
With the Gulf of Mexico
Thought I found a true love in Malibu, but
That water was a little too cold
Yeah I left a few tears in the rearview
One or two that were hard to forget
Why you think we call the present the present
'Cause there ain't no better gift than
Here and now
Nowhere else in this world tonight
You and me, ain't it good to be alive
Ain't no better place, ain't no better time
Than here and now
Everybody's waitin', but they're waitin' on what
Better get to livin' 'cause all we got is
Here and now
A lot of people dreamin' 'bout a one day
Somedays waitin' just around the bend
I used to be one, wonderin' when they'd come
But now I'm living in (but now I'm living in)
(Here and now)
Yeah I'm living in the
Here and now
Nowhere else in this world tonight
You and me, ain't it good to be alive
Ain't no better place, ain't no better time
Than here and now
Everybody's waitin', but they're waitin' on what
Better get to livin' 'cause all we got is
Here and now
