Analysis of Today's Greg



I don't care about yesterday's Greg
I don't care about the past
What did or didn't happen
Or what happened and didn't last
It's today's Greg I care about
Today's Greg I love so much
Today's Greg that has that soft special touch
It's today's Greg, Tomorrow's Greg
I want to love my whole life long
And as far as I'm concerned
Yesterday's Greg is gone.
