That's what a popular song should do. It should sound as though it was always there, but it never was until you thought of it. And I think Tomorrow came to me that way. Ba-da-ba-dee-bee, ba-ba-da. It's a complicated melody. I'm looking at posters on my, and there's a lot of songs I've written that have not been classics like that.

I mean, I think that like fortunately and unfortunately, when a song gets as big as Tomorrow's gotten and has remained, it gets bigger than you, right? Your name in many ways is no longer associated with it. Has that bothered you in your career?

Not if I hear this song. No, not really. I mean, I never got what Lenny himself did. Irving Berlin did. No, I never had that luxury. And here's another Charles Strauss song. I never had that kind of reputation. It's a funny thing about composing. It comes from your heart in a way, but it really comes from nowhere. It's God-given.

I would think that's a God-given gift that I've been fortunate enough to get. I'm getting old, you know. Look how I'm walking. I don't play too well now. The sun will come out tomorrow Bet you bought a dollar That tomorrow There'll be sun Just thinking about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow. Till there's none. When I'm stuck with a day that's great and lonely.
