Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- People love to say, waiting doesn’t pay
Never put off anything you can do today
Wise as that may be I must disagree
For when you have tears to shed
Take this tip from me
Refrain
Save your sorrow for tomorrow
Smile a while today
Work is play to anyone that hums
Live today, tomorrow never comes
If you cheer up, skies will clear up
Clouds will pass away
Save you sorrow for tomorrow
Smile a while today
- If you strike a day
When things come your way
It’s a very easy thing to be blithe and gay
But when gloom is king
That’s the time to sing
In a hundred years from now
It won’t mean a thing
