Written by Sam Coslow and Will Grosz in 1939, it became a hit for Lonnie Johnson and was later recorded by Elvis Presley.
The words
A lover wonders whether tonight's tenderness will still be there tomorrow.
The singer is with someone he loves and is happy tonight, but he cannot stop worrying about tomorrow and whether her feelings will last. The song is a soft, romantic pop ballad from before the rock and roll era, built on that single fear. Dylan gives it a crooning, intimate reading with just his guitar, an early sign of his later love for old popular standards.
