HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW
(Jim & Maxine Brown/Jamie Music, BMI)

Here today and gone tomorrow,
Our love will always be a hit-and-run affair.
I know you love me, but you're just a wand'rer.
Today I love you but tomorrow I may not care.
(Cho.:) For absence never makes the heart grow fonder.
I get lonesome for someone's company.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
And my loving you is just a fantasy.

When you're gone I'll wish we'd never met,
For your memory remains within my heart.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
We can't be happy, so I guess it's best we part. (Cho.)
