Lyrics

  1. My life is spent in naught but idle dreaming
    I’m waiting oh! so patiently
    For a bright tomorrow I am scheming
    But I guess it ne’er will be

Refrain
I am waiting for tomorrow to come
But tomorrow seems like years
All my dreams and schemes I plan upon
Fade away and disappear
Fortune always frowns and passes me by
As each yesterday is done
I just trust to fate while I watch and wait
For my tomorrow to come

  1. ‘Tis often said tomorrow brings good fortune
    To one whose clouds are dark today
    But tomorrow only brings me sorrow
    It’s the same as yesterday
