Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- 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
- ‘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
