Lyrics Today You're Mine - Janis Ian

Today You're Mine

No, you’re not the first
Yes, I’ve had a past
Completely unrehearsed
A small supporting cast
But suddenly I thirst,
Afraid to drink too fast
And though I’m not your first,
I intend to be the last
Suddenly there’s something more
Than memories and time
Though I never knew the way before
Today, you’re mine
I used to be afraid
Of shadows in the air
And all your yesterdays…
They really can’t compare
For all these memories
Are clinging to the past
They change like the autumn leaves
You see — they weren’t meant to last
Suddenly there’s something more
Than memories and time
Though I never knew the way before
Today, you’re mine
Suddenly there’s something more
Than memories and time
Though I never knew the way before
Today, you’re mine
