Yes! I Will Love You Tomorrow!

(after “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” by Carole King)

Tonight I’m yours completely,

to share our love so sweetly.

Tonight the light of love is in my eyes,

yet I will love you tomorrow!

 
This is a lasting treasure,
not just a moment’s pleasure!
You can believe the magic of my sighs!
I will still love you tomorrow!

 
Tonight with words unspoken,
I pledge you are the only one.
Your heart will not be broken,
when this night meets the morning sun!
 

You want to know that my love

is love you can be sure of.

I’ve said my vow, and I’ll say it again:

I will still love you tomorrow!
 
I’ve said my vow and I’ll say it again:

I will still love you tomorrow!

I will still love you tomorrow!

I will still love you tomorrow!

I bought a CD today, “Live at the Troubadour,”

featuring Carole King and James Taylor.

Carole sang this song that was so sad

I just had to write something happier.

My version assumes God, a ring and a promise,

reaping fellowship and constancy.

Carol’s assumes nothing but a momentary pleasure,

reaping loneliness and uncertainty.
