Tomorrow Never Comes

Time flies as the day goes by
But what goes around must surely come back around
There’s always yesterday, today and tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes.

Our debtors plead for tomorrow, 
Our parents hope for tomorrow, 
Our dreams rely on tomorrow, 
But tomorrow never comes.

Children are the leaders of tomorrow, 
A slogan that seem endless, 
A day we always await, 
But tomorrow never comes.

If today becomes yesterday, 
And the future is tomorrow.
Where is the future? 
‘Cos tomorrow never comes.
