Tomorrow Never Came

(album: The Good Times - 1986)

Even though the band was paid
And had gone home long ago
We danced and talked tomorrow
But tomorrow never came

So what if our talk was painted dreams
And what if our talk was lies
We only felt the laughter, not the cries
And tomorrow never came
The sun refused to shine
And tell me who's to blame
It's only you and I

I want our love to last
I just won't let you go
Our talk was only dreams
And only now I know

Now tomorrow has arrived
But who'll enjoy the day?
The things that people plan on
So often go astray

So what if our talk was painted dreams
And what if our talk was lies
We only felt the laughter, not the cries
And tomorrow never came
The sun refused to shine
And tell me who's to blame
It's only you and I

Somewhere along the way
We kissed our dreams goodbye
I'm begging you to stay
To try to answer why

Even though the band was paid
And had gone home long ago
We danced and talked tomorrow
But tomorrow never came, never came

And what if our talk was painted dreams
And what if our talk was lies
We only felt the laughter, not the cries
And tomorrow never came
The sun refused to shine
And tell me who's to blame
It's only you and I
I want our love to last
I just won't let you go
Our talk was only dreams..
