I don't care if tomorrow never comes This world holds nothin' for me I've been lonely night and day ever since you went away So I don't care if tomorrow never comes. [Chorus] If tomorrow never comes and the sun don't ever shine It won't matter with me For when she went away, my world ended that day So I don't care if tomorrow never comes. My lonely mind wanders back to days that used to be My broken heart cries out for you Oh, if I can't have you here, I can't go on my dear So I don't care if tomorrow never comes. [Chorus]
