The Chiffons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Completely)
You give your soul so sweetly
(So sweetly)
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
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 meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is a 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

However, as the night wears on, they become haunted by doubts about the future of their love. The second verse brings the fears to the forefront, as the singer questions whether their love is something that will last or just a temporary sensation. They want to know if they can count on their partner to still be committed to them tomorrow.
One of the most poignant parts of the song is the refrain, where The Chiffons note that "tonight with words unspoken, you say that I'm the only one."

They need to know that their love is mutual, and that the bond they share isn't just a momentary infatuation.
In conclusion, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" is a poignant ballad that captures the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with new love. It's a universal feeling that anyone who's ever been in a relationship can relate to.

So used to hearing the version by The Shirelles. This is a really good version.

I always thought the Chiffons were singing to me, back in 1969.

While I am used to listening to the Shirelles version of this song, that does not mean this recording falls behind the other.

These are the Prom songs we danced to in the late sixties.
