Tomorrow Never Comes
Love's Illusion: Tomorrow's Unfulfilled Promises
Lyrics
Oh, you tell me that you love me
Expression of love being verbally communicated.
Yes, you tell me that you care
Reiteration of love and care being vocalized.
That tomorrow we'll be married
Promise of marriage in the future.
But tomorrow's never there.
Highlighting the elusive nature of the future; uncertainty about tomorrow.
Oh, tomorrow never comes
Emphasizing the idea that tomorrow, the promised time, never arrives.
No, tomorrow never comes
Repetition of the notion that tomorrow never materializes.
Now you tell me that you love me
Contrast between present expressions of love and the uncertainty of tomorrow.
But tomorrow never comes.
Reiteration of the idea that despite current assurances, tomorrow remains elusive.
Many weeks now have I waited
Expression of patience during a prolonged waiting period.
Many long nights have I cried
Description of emotional pain and suffering endured during the wait.
Just to see that happy morning
Anticipation of a joyful morning when the long wait will end.
When I'd have you by my side.
Desire to have the loved one by the side during the anticipated happy moment.
Oh, tomorrow never comes
Reiteration of the theme that tomorrow remains elusive and never arrives.
No, tomorrow never comes
Continued emphasis on the idea that tomorrow never materializes.
Now you tell me that you love me
Contrast between professed love now and the uncertainty of tomorrow.
But tomorrow never comes.
Reiteration that despite current expressions of love, tomorrow remains uncertain.
So tomorrow I'll be leaving
Declaration of departure on the upcoming day (tomorrow).
Yes, tomorrow I'll be gone
Confirmation of the imminent departure on the following day.
And tomorrow you'll be weeping
Anticipation of the loved one's sorrow on the day of departure.
But tomorrow never comes.
Reiteration of the central theme that tomorrow never actually arrives.
Oh, tomorrow never comes
Repeating the idea that tomorrow is a fleeting and unfulfilled concept.
No, tomorrow never comes
Emphasizing the ongoing absence of tomorrow.
Now you tell me that you love me
Contrast between present declarations of love and the elusive nature of tomorrow.
But tomorrow never comes.
Reiteration that, despite assurances, tomorrow remains elusive and unrealized.
