Tomorrow Night

(Yentl finds herself in an impossible
 Situation-and yet nothing's impossible!)
 Look at me-I must be absolutely crazy!
 How did 1 ever let it get this far?
 Look at me! I'm getting deeper into trouble.
 Am I woman or a man?
 Am I a devil or a demon?
 Papa was right!
 I ask too many questions.
 He said a soul can get perplexed-
 I can't believe what happens next!
 Papa was right!
 It seems this little game I play
 Becomes more risky every day!
 Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
 Under the canopy
 I'll stand with her tomorrow night!
 And place a ring upon her hand
 With her all dressed in white
 Tomorrow night
 I don't know how this came about
 But I'll be wed without a doubt.
 Oh, my God, I've got to get out!
 Look at this-The way one lie begets another
 Somebody wake me up and say
 It's all a dream!
 (Look at this!)
 Look how easily I fool them
 They may have eyes but they don't see
 They never really look at me
 People are blind!
 How else would everyone believe me?
 It might be interesting to know
 Just how much further I can go
 Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
 I can't believe what I'll presume to be
 Tomorrow night,
 I'm not the bride but I'm the groom to be
 Tomorrow night,
 And that's a monumental trick
 I'd better think of something quick
 (Oh, my God, I'm feeling sick!
 I could run away
 I could leave without a trace,
 Go anywhere or any place
 Where no one knows my face.
 As a woman or a man?
 I don't know just so I can
 Run away-run away!
 I'd be free-I'd be rid of all of this
 But there's someone I would miss
 And being near him is what this is all about!
 So running away is out!
 Papa dear, you dreamed of dancing
 At my wedding;
 But something tells me that I'm right
 You wouldn't want to dance tonight!
 Isn't this a strangely logical solution?
 Things may not be as they appear
 But the advantages are clear:
 He loves her-she loves him
 He likes me-I like her
 And I've reasons to think she likes me.
 She keeps him-he keeps her
 I keep things as they were
 It's a perfect arrangement for three!
 Who'd have ever predicted
 The moment would come
 When I'd find myself grateful
 They've kept women dumb!
 She's an innocent maiden
 But then so am I!
 That's why it's possible I could get by.
 Look, I've seen the impossible happen before,
 So maybe, God willing, it'll happen once more.
 For I feel like a train on a perilous track.
 With no way to stop and no way to go back.
 Like a snowball that's gathering speed down a hill,
 Going faster and faster and faster until...
 Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
 Even if someone would pray for me
 Tomorrow night,
 There's not a prayer
 That they could say for me
 Tomorrow night,
 Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
 Tomorrow night... is now tonight!
