I don't recognize those lyrics--but if you are referring to the pop/blues standard, it was originally done by the composer Lonnie Johnson--in the 1940s i think. Later country versions by Carl Smith, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Thompson, and Charlie Rich--and quite possibly Eddy Arnold as it is the type of song he would do.

I remember it on the juke boxes by Carl Smith. I was in Oklahoma City at the time, and Carl's version got pretty popular there for a while. I believe it was about 1958 or 59.

I believe I remember the Hank Thompson version fairly well.

Verse:
Tomorrow night you'll have another sweetheart
Tomorrow night you'll find somebody new
I'm a fool to think your indiscreet heart
Could ever love someone with love that's true.

Bridge:
You loved me in your mind but not your heart dear
And you'll change your mind tomorrow night
Loving me was just a passing fancy
Another love you'll have tomorrow night.

Instrumental solo (same as verse)

Repeat bridge, no tag.

Chord progression:

1 6(7th) 2 2(7th)
5 5aug 1/5dim 5(7th)/5aug
1 6(7th) 2 2(7th)
5 5(7th) 1 1(7th)

4 5(7th) 1 1
2 2(7th) 5 5aug
1 6(7th) 2 2(7th)
5 5(7th) 1 1

That's most of it, to the best of my recollection. Tim R.[This message was edited by Tim Rowley on 11 July 2000 at 11:16 PM.]

I think there must be more than one "Tomorrow Night". The one I'm talking about did come out in 1959, and it was a hit for Carl. The reference book that I'm looking at don't say how high it charted, but it did not reach the Top 10.

I don't remember all the words, but it started out something like this:

"Tomorrow night, will you remember all the sweet things that you said"?

That's all of the words that I remember, but I'm sure there's somebody here that can fill in the rest of them.

Tim. That was Hank Thompson in the late 40s.
This is the second verse:

Last night I held your hand benieth the table
You said that you already had a date
But you said tomorrow night you would be able
To keep this rendevious with me at eight

Tonight we are together but I know dear
anothers arms are sure to hold you tight
For I see you smiling at another
Another love you'll have tomorrow night

This was my late sisters favorite song.

I just did some checking on this song.

I was mistaken in my earlier post about Lonnie Johnson. He did have the big hit on the song in the 40s, but he did not write it.

There are at least two different songs by that title:

The first, composed by sam coslow and wil grosz, is probably the best known of the two. it has been recorded by lonnie johnson, carl smith, charlie rich, and lavern baker, among others.

the hank thompson recording is another song, written by hank, and released in the late 40s. he later re-recorded it at least once.

the lines quoted by jim landers are from the coslow and grosz song.

How about that!! The rules say you can't copyright a title, I guess. Steve, I certainly hope we have answered your question. Perry, great memory! Mitch, good job with the research. Tim R.

I think it was Jim Smith.

(Okay, okay! It was a joke; just a JOKE! Maybe not in the best of taste, but hey, they can't all be winners.
