Submitter Comments

I wrote the melody of this song shortly after the beginning of the first Covid-19 lockdown. Of all deprivations, minor and major, that Covid inflicted, the one that has been most difficult to accept is the inability to sing with other people. But I have never wavered in the belief that we will eventually be able to sing together again.

The song can be sung in unison, with either or both harmonies added at any time. I prefer singing the entire song in unison, then repeating the song adding either harmony or both. Starting the melody as low as possible might be helpful for those singing the highest part.

Lyrics

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Before, now, and after. [x2]
Yesterday, we were together; today, we are apart. [x2]
We cannot know what tomorrow brings, but there will come an after.
We cannot know what tomorrow brings, but there will come an after,
and with you I plan to sing.
