I'Ll Be All Right Tomorrow

I'll be all right tomorrow
But I'm not all right today
I sit here drenched in sorrow
Love will come again someday

There's a different pair of boots
Sittin' by her double bed
There's three or four different suits
Where my own once hung instead

Saw them dancin' Friday night
At our ol' waterin' hole
He stood tall an' held her tight -
I still loved her bless my soul

I'll be all right tomorrow
But I'm not all right today
I sit here drenched in sorrow
Love will come again someday

I once rode where he rides now
That winding trail to the lake
The moon looks dimmer somehow
Knowing promises she'll make

I loved her not long ago
An' I guess I love her still
This healin' is painful slow
Guess I never got my fill

I'll be all right tomorrow
But I'm not all right today
I sit here drenched in sorrow
Love will come again someday
