LET THE END OF THE WORLD COME TOMORROW
(Music: Ernest R. Ball / Lyrics: Paul Cunningham)


Helen Clark & Lewis James - 1926




LEWIS:
Today for the first time you told me
What I've been longing to hear
HELEN:
Today for the first time you kissed me
At last I know You're sincere
I know not, nor care what tomorrow may bring
LEWIS:
Today love is king and that's everything

LEWIS: Let me be by your side, let me see you satisfied
HELEN: Then what do I care for tomorrow
BOTH: Let me steal a kiss from you, let me feel you love me too
LEWIS: Then what do I care for tomorrow

BOTH:
Let me crowd our lifetime in just this one day
A lifetime of love, then I'll gladly say
HELEN: Let the end of the world come tomorrow
LEWIS:  As long as you love me today

BOTH: Let me be by your side, let me see you satisfied
LEWIS: Then what do I care for tomorrow
BOTH: 
Let me steal a kiss from you
Let me feel you love me too
Then what do we care for tomorrow

BOTH: Let me crowd our lifetime in just this one day
HELEN: A lifetime of love, then I'll gladly say
LEWIS: Let the end of the world come tomorrow
BOTH: As long as you love me today
