Tomorrow
Oh, I wonder what will tomorrow bring,
will I open my eyes to a new day;
will I have happiness and sweetly sing,
or again fall upon my knees and pray.
Will I open my eyes to a new day-
I do wish my sorrow to stop, stop, stop;
or again fall upon my knees and pray,
a tear drips down like a raindrop.
I do wish my sorrow to stop, stop, stop,
I want what other people just enjoy;
a tear drips down like a raindrop,
all sadness I want to ever destroy.
I want what other people just enjoy,
darling, I must turn away from your grave;
all sadness I want to ever destroy,
will I be brave sweetheart and my soul save.
Darling, I must turn away from your grave,
will I have happiness and sweetly sing;
will I be brave sweetheart and my soul save,
oh, I wonder what will tomorrow bring.
