Original Broadway Cast of Follies
You’re Gonna Love Tomorrow / Love Will See Us Through
[YOUNG BEN]
"What will tomorrow bring?"
The pundits query
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Will it be cheery?
[YOUNG BEN]
Will It be sad?
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Will it be birds in spring
Or hara-kiri?
[YOUNG BEN]
Don't worry, dearie
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Don't worry, lad
[YOUNG BEN]
I'll have our future
Suit your whim
Blue chip preferred
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Putting it in a
Synonym
Perfect's the word
[YOUNG PHYLLIS & YOUNG BEN]
We're in this thing together
Aren'tcha glad?
Each day from now will be
The best day you ever had
[YOUNG BEN]
You're gonna love tomorrow
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Mm-hm...
[YOUNG BEN]
You're gonna be with me
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Mm-hm...
[YOUNG BEN]
You're gonna love tomorrow
I'm giving you my personal guarantee
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
Say toodle-oo to sorrow
[YOUNG BEN]
Mm-hm...
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
And fare thee well, ennui
[YOUNG BEN]
Bye-bye...
[YOUNG PHYLLIS]
You're gonna love tomorrow
As long as your tomorrow is spent with me
[YOUNG PHYLLIS & YOUNG BEN]
Today
Was perfectly perfect, you say
Well, don't go away
'Cause if you think you liked today
You're gonna love tomorrow
Mm-hm...
You stick around and see
Mm-hm...
And if you love tomorrow
Then think of how it's gonna be:
Tomorrow's what you're gonna have a lifetime of
With me!
[YOUNG BUDDY]
Sally, dear
Now that we're
Man and wife
I will do
Wonders to
Make your life
Soul-stirring
And free of care
[YOUNG SALLY]
If we fight
(And we might)
I'll concede
Furthermore
Dear, should your
Ego need
Bolstering
I'll do my share
[YOUNG BUDDY]
But though I'll do my utmost
To see you never frown—
[YOUNG SALLY]
And though I'll try to cut most
Of our expenses down—
[YOUNG BUDDY]
I've some traits, I warn you
To which you'll have objections
[YOUNG SALLY]
I, too, have a cornu-
Copia of imperfections
I may burn the toast
[YOUNG BUDDY]
Oh, well
I may make a rotten host
[YOUNG SALLY]
Do tell
[YOUNG SALLY & YOUNG BUDDY]
But no matter what goes wrong
Love will see us through
Till something better comes along
[YOUNG BUDDY]
I may vex your folks
[YOUNG SALLY]
Okay
I may interrupt your jokes
[YOUNG BUDDY]
You may
[YOUNG SALLY & YOUNG BUDDY]
But if I come on too strong
Love will see us through
Till something better comes along
[YOUNG BUDDY]
I may play cards all night
And come home at three
[YOUNG SALLY]
Just leave a light
On the porch for me
[YOUNG SALLY & YOUNG BUDDY]
Well, nobody's perfect!
[YOUNG SALLY, spoken]
Hi.
[YOUNG BEN, spoken]
Girls.
[YOUNG PHYLLIS, spoken]
Ben.
[YOUNG BUDDY, spoken]
Sally.
[YOUNG SALLY]
I may trump your ace
[YOUNG PHYLLIS & YOUNG BEN]
You're gonna love tomorrow
Mm-hm...
[YOUNG BUDDY]
Please do
I may clutter up the place
[YOUNG PHYLLIS & YOUNG BEN]
You stick around and see
Mm-hm...
[YOUNG SALLY]
Me, too
[YOUNG SALLY & YOUNG BUDDY]
But the minute we embrace
To love's old sweet song
[YOUNG PHYLLIS & YOUNG BEN]
And if you love tomorrow
Then think of how it's gonna be:
[YOUNG SALLY & YOUNG BUDDY]
Dear, that will see us through till something—
Love will keep us true till something—
Love will help us hew to something—
Love will have to do
Till something better comes along
[YOUNG PHYLLIS & YOUNG BEN]
Tomorrow's what you're gonna have
And Monday's what you're gonna have
And April's what you're gonna have
And love is what you're gonna have a lifetime of
With me!
