Today and Ev’ry Day

Lyrics

[ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] Oh god, what if this means One day's now every day That we're stuck like this Forever If I had known I never would have wished the way I did I want to stay a kid And not a grumpy grownup With these wrinkles and this stress The pressure and that Fletcher Oh my god, it's such a mess I didn't even get to see life flash before my eyes It just went away Now I'll pay Today and ev'ry day [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] If today is every day I will hold you and protect you I won't let this thing affect you [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] But we both know that we're screwed [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] With that kind of attitude [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] There's this whole long life I'll never live My college years and more [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] And all that I'll go through again that hurt so much before I want to make things right again And tell you it's all fine I just don't see a way To make this all okay Today or any day [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] Or every everyday [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] Today and everyday (spoken) We have to tell Mike! [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body, spoken] Just walk up there and dump him? [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] Like ripping off a Band-Aid (sung) The long walk down the aisle [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body, sung] Should we nod and wave and smile? Or let them know disaster's struck? [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] God, this aisle is, like, a mile I'm glad you're here with me [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] And Mike will surely see You're not the woman he once knew [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] And I could never be [MINISTER, spoken] Dearly beloved- [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body, spoken] I'm not ready to do this! [WEDDING GUESTS] *gasp* [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] This is so much… harder than I thought it would be… because… you're a great person, and I didn't want another great person to be in our family. I was wrong. It turns out you do belong in this family, but I still can't go through with this, even though I love you [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body, spoken] Say that again [ELLIE, in. KATHERINE'S body] What? [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] "I love you" [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] I love you [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] Honey, listen to me (sung) Today and ev'ryday I will be here I will love you I will put no one above you 'Cause I love your messy hair And I love your grouchy glare The way you dress and all your mess I love them through and through Whatever makes you happy I want for you, I do I'm telling you it's true 'Cause darling, I love you for you [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] And you know I love you for you [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] I love everything you do [ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] -Every crazy thing you do [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body] You know that [KATHERINE, in ELLIE'S body, ELLIE, in KATHERINE'S body] I love you [KATHERINE, in her own body, spoken] Ellie [ELLIE, in her own body, spoken] Mom! [KATHERINE] Is that really you? [ELLIE, sung] Mommy, I'm so sorry [KATHERINE, sung] You should never, don't be sorry [ELLIE] If you thought I didn't love you- [KATHERINE] No, I know it and I love you [ELLIE] It took this day [KATHERINE] It took this day [ELLIE] Today [KATHERINE] Today [KATHERINE, ELLIE] Today and every- [KATHERINE] -Day [ELLIE] Now at last we're un-enchanted I will not take you for granted [KATHERINE] And I'll cut us both some slack [KATHERINE, ELLIE] 'Cause I'm glad to have me back [ELLIE] I know I won't be perfect but I won't be such a witch [KATHERINE] We'll both forgive each other, now won't that be a switch [KATHERINE, ELLIE] We'll know each other, you and I And secrets we'll both keep Things we'll never say [ELLIE] No stupid, sweet cliché [KATHERINE] Just one more quick display [KATHERINE, ELLIE] We'll live our way Today and ev'ry day [ELLIE, spoken] Mom… you need to go get married [KATHERINE, spoken] I do [ELLIE] I told you, you would never believe me. But it really happened [KATHERINE, sung, MIKE, sung] I'll love you just this way Today and ev'ry day Today and ev'ry day [ALL] Today and ev'ry day [ELLIE, spoken] So… you're probably wondering about a few things. Like, how did the wedding reception go? [ENSEMBLE, sung] It starts today [KATHERINE, spoken] We made the cover story for Weddings magazine. My catering business quadrupled overnight! [ENSEMBLE, sung] Today and ev'ry day [MIKE, spoken] They loved my seven-layer bars! [ENSEMBLE, sung] It starts today [FLETCHER, spoken] His best man speech murdered [TORREY, spoken] I got my license to practice couples therapy [ENSEMBLE, sung] It starts today [SAVANNAH, spoken] I'm going to Yale on a fast-track Ph.D. program. Eat my dust! [ENSEMBLE, sung] Today and every day (overlapping:) [HANNAH, spoken] I went to Swedish camp and started a band. It's called Stargrave. It's part punk, part country-western swing- [GRETCHEN, spoken] I went to computer camp and met the love of my life. His hacking is so major it got him on the FBI's black list when he was eleven. He named a code after me- [ENSEMBLE, spoken] *unintelligible* [ELLIE] Excuse me! I'm the narrator. Guys! Hellooo! (ESEMBLE stops talking) [ELLIE] I got this [MS. MEYERS] You and me Blake. This summer. You and me [ELLIE] I failed gym, which means summer school [ADAM] I have to do summer school, too. If you want, I could give you a ride? [ELLIE] That… would be cool [FLETCHER] Gross! For a minute, it looked like you were gonna make out! Come on, I made you a puppet so you could be in my act [MALE ENSEMBLE] Just one day- [FEMALE ENSEMBLE] Today and every day
