Analysis of Tomorrow May Never Come
Pamela Yvette Derry 1953 (San Antonio)
Tomorrow may never come
We close our eyes shutting out light
Asleep in a daze while evil is done
Tomorrow may never be
The day we seek to see
No do overs
What’s done is finish
Tomorrow will never come
If today we do not the things we should do
Tomorrow may never come
We glow into the future
Of the tomorrow that may never come
