LANZA:
When you say "Not today", I would ask you then
Will your beauty ever be quite so fair again
When you frown and look down, let me ask of you
Can I ever love you more than today I do

Tomorrow is too far away
Tomorrow is long to delay
Tomorrow today will be only a memory
Tomorrow we may learn that each
Tomorrow is still out of reach
So borrow tomorrow with me

RASKIN:
When you sigh love is nigh, I would have you know
Love is not a passerby, lovers come and go
When you smile, wait a while, I would understand
Will you care to keep my heart when you have my hand

LANZA: Tomorrow is too far away
RASKIN: Tomorrow will you stay
LANZA: Tomorrow is long to delay
RASKIN: Tomorrow will you, Dear
LANZA: Tomorrow today will be
RASKIN: Tomorrow will you want to be
LANZA: Only a memory
RASKIN: A tender little memory
LANZA: Tomorrow we may learn that each
RASKIN: Tomorrow I may reach
LANZA: Tomorrow is still out of reach
RASKIN: The sun is still up high
LANZA: So borrow
RASKIN: To spend a day
BOTH: Tomorrow with me
