    Emmet Miller - Take Your Tomorrow

    Hi,

    Given that surprisingly there weren't any lyrics available online for this song, I decided to try transcribing it myself.
    The lyrics are very simple but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and so I would like to ask for your kind help and maybe even challenge you a bit.
    This is an oldie as can be, but it's charming nevertheless.

    1.YouTube video:

    2. The first sentence he says is a complete mystery to me, so I didn't even attempt at it.
    3. BTW if you don't know the song, or this magnificent artist, you're very welcome. He's a real treat.
    4. The Lyrics I transcribed:

    Emmet Miller - Take Your Tomorrow

    Why should I wait for happiness?
    I've grown impatient more or less
    I cannot reach somehow
    Show me that bluebird now

    Take your tomorrow and give me today
    For your tomorrow is too far away
    At every dawning I've waited in vain
    I find each morning brings only rain

    How can I borrow tomorrow today
    Without around me all heavy and grey? Oh lord!

    What tomorrow may bring don't mean a thing
    That's why I say

    Take your tomorrow
    And give me today

    Take your tomorrow
    And give me today
    'Cause your tomorrow is too far away
    At every dawning
    I've waited in vain
    I find each morning brings only rain

    How can I borrow tomorrow today
    Without around me all heavy and grey? Oh lord!
    What tomorrow may bring don't mean a thing
    That's why I say

    Take your tomorrow
    And give me today. Oh lord!


    Thanks a lot, and hope you first and foremost enjoy this

    <<If the guide had spoken more slowly>> Better: "If the guide had spoken slowly" or, "If the guide had spoken slower" 'more' is redundant.

    <<Is it correct to refer to "100th sale" and "more than $100" as sales event?>> The sale is the event. The '100th sale' and the 'more than £100' you are describing, are individual characteristics of the sale.

    A lot of people use an App/program called ANKI (you can search on the web) to help them memorise vocabulary, but as Emma says, it is better if you can use it in everyday speech..

    <> The grammar is correct. It states that, you have not been to Europe, but, it implies you may go in the future (yet). For example: "Son, have you washed your face?" No papa, not yet, I will do it soon.." The boy tells his father that he has not washed his face (yet), but he is going to do it later. <> The grammar is not correct. It should be "I have never been to Europe". It is a statement and 'yet' is not required.

    The original text could have been written more clearly, for example: "She had seen a 'nature special' once on TV that told..". They are talking about a TV program. This (IMHO) is more of an 'Americanism'. We do hear this sometimes in England but in England we'd usually say it's a 'nature program'.

    Hilary's answer is good. Another example: Your 'objective' is to be able to speak fluent English, but your 'target' (for this week) is to learn the verb, 'to be'.

    Today is the fourth times I have visited my friend's hostel at his university. I am proud of him. He got a scholarship in a famous university. For me, he is a good person and clever. Sometimes I feel jealous of him. I want to be like him and study in a famous university and get a scholarship. I hope with my jealousy him thats as motivatesion for me so I can be like him. I will never regret knowing him. For me he is my best friend since I still was a child.
