There's a very special present

that I wish to give to you

It always comes, in spite of rain

and is forever good as new

For every day of your little life

it's come with the morning sun

and while you've always used carelessly

there's never only one

I should warn you that this gift

has no special guarantees

so make of it what you wish

as nothing is ever free

This gift is yours, forever and ever

and no one else's to borrow

this special gift I have for you

is simply called:

tomorrow.
