Sweet Tomorrow ~ lyrics by me, music by Suno
(Tick, tock… tick, tock…)
I meant to start this song on time,
But spent a second hunting rhyme;
I glanced up at the clock once, then three
More times. It didn’t wait for me.
I said I’d nap for just a minute,
A pillow’s such a trap when you’re in it!
I woke at dusk, the hours had fled,
The cat had eaten lunch, and bread.
Oh, tomorrow, sweet tomorrow,
You’re the friend I always borrow!
Why do today what can wait for me?
I’ll get around to it eventually!
The laundry sat for days, then weeks,
And soon began to make small squeaks;
By months it had a name and vote,
And charged me rent to keep my coat.
Oh, tomorrow, sweet tomorrow,
You’re the friend I always borrow!
Why do today what can wait for me?
I’ll get around to it eventually!
(Tick, tock, the clock just mocks)
I’ll start right after one more snooze…
(Tick, tock, I’m in my socks)
What’s another hour to lose?
The years rolled on. I swore I’d quit
Procrastinating, soon, a bit.
A decade passed with cups of tea…
I’ll get around to it…
Next… cen-tu-ry!
(Tick, tock… yawn)
