Song/Poem of the Day — No Tomorrow

No tomorrow

Fancy a dance baby, today is our only day Come and move your body with me to the tunes on the jukebox Or I can sit at the piano and sing you a song But you must dance baby since there’s no tomorrow

No tomorrow for me and you At the strike of midnight we must part ways There you were sitting at the end of the bar A cocktail in one hand and tears in another

You sat next to me at the piano and sang us a song Your melancholy blues poured out of you You sang no tomorrow for me and you It’s been a long day even when your family is waiting for you at home

No tomorrow for me and you No matter how I love the touch of your hand No matter how you feel next to me at the piano There’s no tomorrow for me an you

Each night I tickle the ivory but never yet for someone like you I sing to myself with voices humming in the background Never before for someone like you It pains me that there’s no tomorrow for me and you

I leaned in to kiss you and you smiled You took my hand and placed it on your cheek And whispered, there’s no tomorrow for me and you Yet it was the moment I fell in love with you

I still don’t know your name But when you hear this song you’ll know it’s for you There was no tomorrow for me and you But we were in the moment and for that, who needs tomorrow
