I’ll Be Here Tomorrow (from The Grand Tour) lyrics

[JERRY HERMAN, spoken]
But, that one didn't run very long either

And then a few years later, I wrote a musical for Joel Grey called The Grand Tour in which he sang these lines. I don't think I realized when I was writing them that I was writing about myself

(sung)
I'll be here tomorrow
Alive and well and thriving
I'll be here tomorrow
It's simply called surviving

(spoken)
Yeah, you guessed it: that one didn't run very long either
