» Lyrics
There is no exact song titled "No Day But Today" on the RENT soundtrack, however, it is sung twice in the movie. Instead of "No Day But Today," the first song is often titled "Another Day," sung by Roger & Mimi after "Out Tonight." The second time this song shows up is in the "Finale B" after Mimi is revived.
Another Day
(Mimi)
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future, there is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us, there's only this
Forget regret, or life is yours to miss
No other road, no other way
No day but today
There's only us, only tonight
We must let go to know what's right
No other course, no other way
No day but today
(Mimi, Angel, Collins & Mark)
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just to be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
(Roger)
Control your temper
She doesn't see
Who says that there's a soul
Just let me be
Who do you think you are
Barging here on my and my guitar
Little girl hey, the door is that way
(Mimi)
No day but today...
(Roger)
The fire's out anyway
(Mimi, Angel, Collins & Mark)
No day but today
(Roger)
Take your powder, take your candle
(Mimi, Angel, Collins & Mark)
No day but today
(Roger)
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette
(Mimi, Angel, Collins & Mark)
No day but today
(Roger)
Another time, another place,
Another rhyme, a warm embrace
(Mimi, Angel, Collins & Mark)
No day but today
(Roger)
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day
(Mimi, Angel, Collins & Mark)
No day but today
Finale B
Full lyrics. If you listen to the song, you can easily pick out the lyrics from "No Day But Today." This finale also includes the songs "Will I Lose My Dignity," and "Without You."
(Mark)
There is no future
There is no past
(Roger)
Thank God this
Moment's not the last
(Mimi & Roger)
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or
Life is yours to miss
(All)
No other road no other way
No day but today
(Women)
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal
(Men)
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare
(Women)
Is just to be
Without
You
The hand gropes
The ear hers
The pulse beats
Life goes on
But I'm gone
(Men)
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
(Women)
'Cause I die
Without you
I die without you
(Men)
No day but today
(All)
NO DAY BUT TODAY!!
