Carole King Klein (born Carol Joan Klein; February 9, 1942) is an American … Read Full Bio ↴Carole King Klein (born Carol Joan Klein; February 9, 1942) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who has been active since 1958, initially as one of the staff songwriters at 1650 Broadway and later as a solo artist. Regarded as one of the most significant and influential musicians of all time, King is the most successful female songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century in the US, having written or co-written 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100. King also wrote 61 hits that charted in the UK, making her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts between 1962 and 2005.

King's major success began in the 1960s when she and her first husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits, many of which have become standards, for numerous artists. She has continued writing for other artists since then. King's success as a performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut album Writer, King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years.

King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter. She is the recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored. She is also a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree.

You Made Me Love You
Carole King Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight, you're mine, completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight, with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night (when the night)
Meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Overall Meaning

Carole King's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" is a timeless classic that explores the fear of the uncertainty of love. The song is a plea from a woman who has given herself completely to a man, and she is unsure if he will still love her the next day. Throughout the song, she wonders if their love is real or just a momentary infatuation. She craves reassurance that their relationship will last, and that he will keep his promises.

The opening lines, "Tonight, you're mine, completely / You give your love so sweetly," set the mood of the song. The woman is swept up in the passion and romance of the moment, but she is also aware that it may not last. She questions whether the love that they share will stand the test of time, or whether it is just a fleeting pleasure.

As the song progresses, the woman becomes more and more unsure of her lover's intentions. She fears being left heartbroken after the night passes and the harsh light of the morning sun arrives. At the end of the song, the woman implores her lover to tell her if his love is true, so that she can have the peace of mind she craves.

Overall, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" is a deeply emotional song that explores the bittersweet nature of love. It is a poignant reminder of the uncertainty that comes with opening yourself up to another person, and the fear of being left alone.

Line by Line Meaning

Tonight, you're mine, completely
This evening, I have your undivided attention and affection.

You give your love so sweetly
You express your love openly and tenderly.

Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes
Tonight, your eyes reflect the depth of your love for me.

But will you love me tomorrow?
However, I am uncertain if your love is just for this moment or if it is everlasting.

Is this a lasting treasure
I question if the love we share will endure time or is only temporary.

Or just a moment's pleasure
Is our love merely a fleeting physical attraction or something deeper?

Can I believe the magic of your sighs
I wonder if your endearments are only momentary, therefore I'm uncertain if I can believe them.

Will you still love me tomorrow?
I am genuinely asking if your love for me will continue past this evening and you'll cherish me the next day.

Tonight, with words unspoken
In the silence, we are expressing our love with eyes alone.

You say that I'm the only one
You assure me that I'm the sole recipient of your love.

But will my heart be broken
However, I fear I will be devastated if this assurance is untrue.

When the night (when the night)
After tonight's realization and declaration of love

Meets the morning sun?
Will your love continue when we meet in the morning when we're not swept up in the nighttime magic/charm anymore.

I'd like to know that your love
I desire to know that your love for me is genuine and long-lasting.

Is love I can be sure of
I want to be certain that I am secure in your love.

So tell me now and I won't ask again
Hence, tell me the truth now so that I will never have to ask again.

Will you still love me tomorrow?
The fundamental question remains, will you continue to love me tomorrow and moving forward?

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful, of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me (what you've done to me)
You make me feel so good inside (good inside)
And I just wanna be (wanna be)
Close to you you make me feel so alive

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman

You make me feel
You know you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

You know, you
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Natural woman

I prefer the intimacy of this version. Its like she's singing it right to you in a room. Its very stripped down and it allows you to really hear the words and the beauty of the music. Its great. Carole King can do no wrong in my book.

@fraundakelmbrilpondaprost90

3y↑9

Perfectly put. On top of all that, King also carries a very slight remorse and pain to her inflection. As if her new love is bringing her away from a pain she still carries on some level.

@murtheblur

You both may then like this version from 12 year old Angelina Jordan https://youtu.be/rt6KhBxiaDo. This was recorded days after Aretha passed. It is recorded more in the Carole King style, however, as a tribute to Aretha. Slowed down and heartfelt.

My mom tells me Carole King is the only music I would listen to in the hospital. That’s a really short version, but to add to that, I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 13, and noise and lights bothered me a lot. But whenever my hospital room was close to the activity room, I guess I didn’t mind listening to Carole King and the activities person would leave the door open so I can hear it. I don’t remember that much about that time, but when my mom asked me if I remember some of these songs and I just started singing, it shocked me. I don’t know why I’m sharing this, but it’s just a personal story.

@FuzzyElf thank you. I think that it was a start to recovery for me, because I was in the hospital a lot for plenty of reasons to do with my epilepsy, but it definitely helped me get over music just being noise and becoming something that helped me get through a lot of tests and surgeries.

God this woman was channeling some serious life emotions she was beyond a doubt tapped into the universal consciousness as were so many of the writers of that era. When they are asked where the inspiration for their songs most don’t know they say it just popped in their head... I really wish today’s musicians would have those moments of clarity.... the times are different now we’ve lost that feeling of love as our core emotion....I’m afraid if humanity as a whole never regains that feeling of love for our world or for our neighbors or ultimately for our selves.... certainly it will ensure a rapid end of our time on the top of food chain....there’s still hope

We listened to Carole the 1st time we Made Love 1973
How I wish you were here with me
Now xxx

This song was as TAILOR MADE FOR THE QUEEN OF SONG ARETHA FRANKLIN! I have both Carole kings Tapestry and A.R. greatest hits both versions are beautiful... even though Gerry Goffin Carole king and Jerry Wexler wrote this masterpiece... Aretha Franklin's version of this song makes me cry...its perfect from beginning to end. Carole kings version makes me think. Only two women can sing this song with emotion, joy and respect without ZOOMING through it..like others! That's A.R. and C.K! Folks check out the song Up On The Roof by The Drifters. Carole king wrote this song also and sang her version... Amazing!

Carole also had a hand in creating the song, "Wasn't Born To Follow" as well.

It is not fully clear whether or not she just provided the music on this one, or actually contributed to the lyrics as well.

Carole King is a great writer. I think she is what elton John, Prince and Phil Collins modeled their songwriting from. All great writers!!

@Carole King You are a great musician, colored our times back then, I still love this music. I just dont know why you would want me to send you an email ?

For me this is the best version. Why? Because this version is the most sincere. These words were her feelings when she wrote this song and therefore is this the most personal version of all, no matter how great the other singers who sang it too. The music goes so wel together with the lyrics and when she comes to the bridge with the words "ooh baby what you've done to me" it all goes from amazement to solution in words and music. So much honesty, this is pure art and on par with somebody like Joni Mitchell, two of the greatest singer/songwriters in history.

They're not Carole King's words, though. Gerry Goffin wrote most of the lyrics, with Jerry Wexler coming up with the title.

Omiljena izvedba ove pesme...ima neke nostalgije, ceznje, smirenosti, a opet, sve prsti od strasti!

“Before the day I met you, life was so unkind, but your love was the key to my peace of mind.” Such lyrics within this song, as with the rest of it, has been the case with my anonymous first female friend of fifteen years from a particular school in eastern Melbourne here in Australia, and she is now my beautiful and dearly devoted platonic partner. God bless. 🙏🤗💐

What a great song! I'm just getting to learn it after many years of 'half-hearing it' and have discovered (this is for the musos amongst you) that it's in 3-time rather than the 4 beats to the bar that characterizes most pop and rock. It's a little twist but powerful and gives the song more of a floating feeling, perhaps better suited to the mood of sweetness and nostalgia. Thanks Carol...
