Today Is Not the Day
Dean Martin · Somewhere There's a Someone/The Hit Sound of Dean [2002]
I'm goin' to leave you some day but today is not the day.
You told me if I didn't like the way you lived your life
I was free to go and find somebody new
So walked out door again turned around and walked back in
There's nobody in the world for me but you.
I'm goin' to leave you some day but today is not the day
And when that day will be I just can't say
I'll try again tomorrow I tried it yesterday
I'm goin' to leave you some day but today is not the day.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm gonna to leave you some day but today is not the day
And when that day will be I just can't say
I'll try again tomorrow I tried it yesterday
I'm goin' to leave you some day but today is not the day.
I'm goin' to leave you some day but today is not the day...
