Oh, you tell me that you love me
Yes, you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married
But tomorrow's never there.

Oh, tomorrow never comes
No, tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes.

Many weeks now have I waited
Many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning
When I'd have you by my side.

Oh, tomorrow never comes
No, tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes.

So tomorrow I'll be leaving
Yes, tomorrow I'll be gone
And tomorrow you'll be weeping
But tomorrow never comes.

Oh, tomorrow never comes
No, tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes.
