TOMORROW IS THE SONG I SING
>From the film "The Ballad Of Cable Hogue" (1970)
(Music: Jerry Goldsmith / Lyrics: Richard Gillis)


Richard Gillis (Film Soundtrack) - 1970


Tomorrow is the song I sing
Yesterday don't mean a thing
I'll make today my next day's dawn
And I'll still be here grinnin' 
When the sun goes down

I'll get through this day first
It's not the worst
I don't care, I'll be there
To put the sun to bed

Tomorrow is the song I sing
Tomorrow ragmen can be kings
The smile I wear will be my crown
And I'll be lightin' up a lifetime
When the sun goes down

Tomorrow is the song I sing
Tomorrow ragmen can be kings
'Cause sometimes kings may ragmen be
If it can happen to a king
It can happen to me

I'll get through this day first
It's not the worst
I don't care, I'll be there
To put the sun to bed

Tomorrow's still the song I sing
Good or bad, whatever it brings
Got no choice, greet the day
And whatever debts I owe to fate
I'll make fate pay

Tomorrow is the song I sing
Tomorrow ragmen can be kings
The smile I wear will be my crown
And I'll be lightin' up a lifetime
When the sun goes down

If I don't make it through
It's up to you to do your share
And be there
To put the sun to bed

Tomorrow'll be the song you sing
Yesterday won't mean a thing
Make today your next day's dawn
You'll still be here grinnin'
When today's all gone
