No Golden Tomorrow Ahead Lyrics - Hank Snow

Written & Recorded by Hank Snow 

The postman came to me this morning 

and dropped your letter in the door. 

Then went his way so gay and smiling, 

leaving my old heart so sad and sore. 

CHORUS 

You painted all the clouds with sunshine 

and named the day that we would wed, 

But with the tide those dreams are drifting, 

There's NO GOLDEN TOMORROW AHEAD. 

Those plans we made together darling 

have faded like the mists at sea. 

Your letter reads you've found another, 

that you love someone else, dear, but me. 

CHORUS 

You painted all the clouds with sunshine 

and named the day that we would wed, 

But with the tide those dreams are drifting, 

There's NO GOLDEN TOMORROW AHEAD. 

The days are long, so sad and dreary, 

the nights are lonely and so blue. 

But true as stars shine down from heaven, 

I will never love no one but you. 

CHORUS 

You painted all the clouds with sunshine 

and named the day that we would wed, 

But with the tide those dreams are drifting, 

There's NO GOLDEN TOMORROW AHEAD. 

I hope, sweetheart, that you'll be happy 

along life's path you've chose to tread. 

But you'll find there's no love like mine, dear, 

And NO GOLDEN TOMORROW AHEAD. 

CHORUS 

You painted all the clouds with sunshine 

and named the day that we would wed, 

But with the tide those dreams are drifting, 

There's NO GOLDEN TOMORROW AHEAD.
