Will You Love Me Tomorrow

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow

This song, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, was originally performed by The Shirelles in 1960. Since then it has been recorded by numerous artistes and found its way to #125 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The version above, with slightly different lyrics, was recorded by Smokie, and is probably one of the best performances. You can listen to a recording on YouTube here.
