Satantango

Yesterday’s one day,

Add today, makes two days,

Tomorrow’s the third day,

Tomorrow’s tomorrow makes four.

“Maybe it only needs two more nights sleep?” she thought in her excitement. “But wait!” she suddenly stopped. “That’s not right!” She took her thumb from her mouth, pulled her other hand out from under the lace cover, and tried counting again

Yesterday’s one day.

Today makes two

Two and one makes three days

Tomorrow, ah tomorrow,

Makes three, plus one, makes four.
