Today, Tomorrow and Forever (Patsy Cline song)
"Today, Tomorrow and Forever" is a country music ballad popularized by Patsy Cline. It was originally written by Jerry Strickland and Buddy Killen. While Cline never recorded a studio version of the song, a live performance from a 1961 concert at the Longhorn Ranch in Dallas, Texas, has become the most well-known rendition.
The song's lyrics express a deep and enduring love, promising faithfulness and devotion "today, tomorrow, and forever." It's a relatively straightforward declaration of commitment, emphasizing the speaker's intention to maintain their love regardless of the future's uncertainties.
Due to the lack of an official studio recording, the live version is often characterized by its rawness and emotional delivery, which many consider a key factor in its enduring appeal. The song's inclusion in various Patsy Cline compilation albums and its continued airplay on country music stations have solidified its status as a fan favorite, despite its somewhat obscure origins in comparison to Cline's bigger hits.
