Tomorrow Night

Look at me I must be absolutely crazy How did I ever let it get this far? Look at me I'm getting deeper into trouble Am I a woman or a man? Am I a devil or a demon? Can you wear a mask so long There comes a time you don't know who you are? Papa was right I ask too many questions He said, "A soul can get perplexed" I can't believe what happens next Papa was right Why, why, why? Oh, there I go again with the questions Oh, Papa, if you only knew Tomorrow night, tomorrow night Under the canopy I'll stand With her tomorrow night And place a ring upon her hand With her all dressed in white Tomorrow night Oh my God, I'm feeling sick I'd better think of something quick Wait a minute Think, think, Anshel Yentl, think, calmly, clearly Doesn't the Talmud say There are always other possibilities Always alternatives? I could go back to Yaniv How bad could it be? And be Benza the shoemaker's wife He would happily take me And probably make me A dutiful husband for life With a houseful of children We'd live out our years I might even learn how to cook But our discussions together Would be of souls made of leather And I'd never finish a book It's the kind of a life That some women might choose But I wouldn't be in their shoes (Are you gonna spend your life in here? You Know tomorrow night you're getting married) Tomorrow night, tomorrow night I can't believe what I've presumed To be tomorrow night I'm not the bride but I'm the groom To be tomorrow night Tomorrow night I'd better think of something else Or I'll be wed without a doubt Because the time is running out Running out? Why didn't I think of that before? I could run away I could leave without a trace Go anywhere or any place Where no one knows my face As a woman or a man, I don't know Just so I can Run away, run away I'd be free I'd be rid of all of this But there's someone I would miss And being near him is what this Is all about So running away Is out Look at this To go ahead with it is crazy Somebody wake me up and say it's all a dream Look at this The way one lie begets another Don't ask me why, don't ask me how But they believed me up 'til now People are blind Look how easily I fool them They never really look at me They may have eyes but they don't see People are blind So maybe I can get away with it I hope so Because there's only one possibility left To stay here in Besheve And marry Hadas Could it be such a terrible life? She would comfort and care for us Feasts she'd prepare for us She'd make us a wonderful wife Most important of all I'd have Avigdor there We could study by day and by night Reading scripture forever So that I can be clever When the time comes to turn out the light Who'd have ever predicted the moment would come When I'd find myself grateful they've kept women dumb? She's an innocent maiden, but then, so am I And that's why it's possible I could get by Look, I've seen the impossible happen before So maybe, God willing, it'll happen once more For I feel like a train on a perilous track With no way to stop and no way to go back Like a snowball that's gathering speed down a hill Going faster and faster and faster until Tomorrow night, tomorrow night Any second thoughts will be too late Tomorrow night Oh, I can hardly wait to see my fate Tomorrow night Tomorrow night, tomorrow night Tomorrow night, tomorrow night Tomorrow night
