song lyrics

[careyh]

Hi All,

I have been searching on this board for some song lyrics that I don't quite remember. The song was called "Today", but I don't think it is the same "Today" mentioned in a previous thread.

The lyrics I remember are:

Today as we gather our friendships will grow
The love that we have here is Kappa we know
A million tomorrows will all pass away
Ere I forget, all the friends that are mi-i-ine
Today


Does this ring a bell to anyone? Do I have the lyrics right? Is there another verse? I remember liking the song and have not heard it in a while (I pledged in '92)

Thanks for your help

I've got the Songs of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The only "Today" lyrics listed didn't have the ones you posted--doesn't mean they weren't ones your chapter used though. Here is what is listed in the songbook:

Today
Air: "Today" by Randy Sparks

You'll find as a Kappa you'll always recall
The laughter, the friendship, the memories, and all
The blues that we cherish, the owl so wise;
These are the symbols that we will hold dear all our lives.

I'll be your true friend and I'll be your sister,
You'll know who I am by the key that I wear.
I'll strive to be loyal, I'll try to be worthy
Of all that we honor and share.

Repeat first verse

Alternate Version

Today and tomorrow, our love's golden key;
The caring and sharing, bonding all K.K.G.
Friendship and unity, truth and fraternity
For us right now in the blue fleur-de-lis, K.K.G.

Ours is a sisterhood open and challenging.
Ours is a house from which laughter shall ring.
We share a heritage, tradition of loyalty,
Of our dear Kappa Kappa Gamma we sing.

************************************************** ********

I never heard the alternate version sung--seems like it doesn't fit the tune as well. Hope this is what you were looking for!

For us right now in the flue fleur-de-lis, K.K.G.

Ours is a sisterhood open and challenging.
Ours is a house from which laughter shall ring.
We share a heritage, tradition of loyalty,
Of our dear Kappa Kappa Gamma we sing.

My chapter used the alternate version. I've always thought it was quite pretty. We also had a harmony part that used these lyrics--

The days of our Kappa years may fly away, die away,
The days of true friendships may be memory,
We have loved, we have learned, let us teach now in turn,
For the flame that was kindled forever shall burn, KKG.

I don't know the original song it was based on at all, but I've always felt the song was quite pretty and the rythm wasn't awkward at all.
