Song lyrics to After Today, Written by Leslie Bricusse, Performed by Anthony Newley in Doctor Dolittle
Matthew: Who would have thought
That one little kiss …
Soft and sweet
From the lips of a lovely girl …
Would change my life?
But by my life …
It will!
After today,
Nothing will be the same again!
After today,
I’ll make my claim to fame …
An’ then
The grass will be greener …
An’ the air will be cleaner …
An’ my life will be serener
Than Heaven knows when!
Heaven knows when!
After today,
I shall have bid my fears goodbye!
After today,
I shall have no more tears to cry!
I’ll learn to live with
Laughter to stay …
After today!
After today,
Nothin’ will be the way it was!
After today,
I’ll say oh, what a day it was!
My heart will be lighter …
An’ my smile will be brighter –
An’ I’ll be twice the fighter
That ever i was!
Clever because
After today,
I shall have bid my fears farewell!
After today,
I shall have no more tears to quell!
I’ll learn to live with
Laughter to stay!
After the tears
Comes the laughter …
After today!
