No Golden Tomorrow Ahead

The postman came to me this morning

And dropped your letter in the door

Then went his way so gay and smiling

Leaving my old heart so sad and sore.

Chorus:

You painted all the clouds with sunshine

And named the day that we would wed

But with the tide those dreams are drifting

There's no golden tomorrow ahead.

Those plans we made together darling

Have faded like the mists at sea

Your letter reads you've found another

That you love someone else, dear, but me.

Chorus:

You painted all the clouds with sunshine

And named the day that we would wed,

But with the tide those dreams are drifting,

There's no golden tomorrow ahead.

The days are long, so sad and dreary

The nights are lonely and so blue

But true as stars shine down from heaven

I will never love no one but you.

Chorus:

You painted all the clouds with sunshine

And named the day that we would wed,

But with the tide those dreams are drifting,

There's no golden tomorrow ahead.

I hope, sweetheart, that you'll be happy

Along life's path you've chose to tread

But you'll find there's no love like mine dear

There's no golden tomorrow ahead.

Chorus:

You painted all the clouds with sunshine

And named the day that we would wed

But with the tide those dreams are drifting

There's no golden tomorrow ahead...
