about

Arab-American artist Yusif pushes forward with DAISY, a smooth acoustic guitar-based track that morphs into a power ballad rocker. While the verses of the song look toward the artist’s past, centered around a girl named Daisy, the song’s refrain, “We’ll always have tomorrow, but we might not have today,” urges listeners to look neither forward nor backward but to live in the moment and “not wait” to do so.

lyrics

Headed downtown to get away from it all
I was walking along in a shopping mall, there I saw Daisy
It was almost as if she was never gone
She had a red bandana and a t-shirt on, it felt good to see Daisy
I said I haven’t seen you in the longest time
Girl I gotta admit you’ve been on my mind every day, Daisy
I’ve been shattered at worst, broken at best
See it doesn’t really matter about the rest, I wish I’d never left Daisy

‘Cause I’ve been dreaming about you
I’ve been waiting for this day to come
I’ve been dreaming about you
I’ve been seeing a daisy in the sun

Now don’t say we’ll always have tomorrow when we don’t have to wait
We’ll always have tomorrow but it might slip away, yeah
Now don’t say we’ll always have tomorrow when we really wanna say
We’ll always have tomorrow but we… we might not have today

I know I broke your heart but I gotta confess
I was breaking my own heart, nevertheless, I’ve got one request, Daisy
Why don’t you try and understand I am a better man
I am not the same as I was then, take my hand, Daisy

You know I’ve been dreaming about you
I’ve been waiting for this day to come
I’ve been dreaming about you
I’ve been seeing a daisy in the sun, yeah yeah yeah

Now don’t say we’ll always have tomorrow when we don’t have to wait
We’ll always have tomorrow but it might slip away, yeah
Now don’t say we’ll always have tomorrow when we really wanna say
We’ll always have tomorrow but we… you know we might not have today
