She comes to my bed like a whisper Slips in the sheet like a ghost Says to my ear hey mister, You need to take this girl to the coast I need to kick my feet up in the ocean Feel the taste of salt sea spray Baby let's live in the moment Cause it feels like life is taking the moment away Let's seize the day, seize the day, seize the day In the kitchen in the morning She poured coffee in my favorite cup She's been dancing on the linoleum, bare foot The squeaking nearly woke me up She put Tom Jones on the stereo Now that I could do without Ah, but who needs perfection? I like the tension when there's room for doubt Seize the day, seize the day, seize the day Seize the day, seize the day, seize the day She brought some pens, a couple of notebooks A postcard, a blanket, a bottle of Merlot And the sky provided the sunset Me, I brought the music of Nat King Cole. And I'd come back as a sea-gull, I said, If in the next life they'd give you the choice I'd come back with you, we could go flying, She said, you'd hear me raise my voice, to Seize the day, seize the day, seize the day Seize the day, seize the day, seize the day
