Morgen was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 in London, performed by Ronnie Tober.

The song is a ballad, with Tober telling his "far-away wife" how he feels to be separated from her. He expresses his desire for "tomorrow" to arrive as soon as possible, enabling them to be reunited.

The song was performed second on the night, following Portugal and preceding Belgium. At the close of voting, it finished joint last with Finland.

Morgen, kom nu maar gauw
Die morgen, kiest jou tot vrouw
Die morgen, zon, blij en blauw
Wat een dag

Morgen, duurt nog een nacht
Die morgen, zomers en zacht
Die morgen, zonlicht en lach
Wat een dag

Jij bent een nacht van me weg, dag van me weg
Uur van m’n leven, zo’n tijd duurt lang zonder jou
Ik was zo lang onderweg, lang onderweg
Weg zonder einde, zo’n tijd duurt lang zonder jou
M’n verre vrouw

Morgen, leek ‘n idee
Die morgen, ging je niet mee
Die morgen, werd een cliché
Van een dag

Morgen, geurt weer ‘t gras
Die morgen, toen jij er was
Die morgen, droevige farce
Van een dag

Jij bleef die nacht van me weg, dag van me weg
Bleef uit m’n leven, ‘t einde kwam plots zonder jou
Ik was vergeefs onderweg, lang onderweg
Weg zonder einde, ‘t einde kwam plots zonder jou

Jij bleef die nacht van me weg, dag van me weg
Bleef uit m’n leven, ‘t einde kwam plots zonder jou
Ik was vergeefs onderweg, lang onderweg
Weg zonder einde, ‘t einde kwam plots zonder jou
M’n verre vrouw

Tomorrow, just come soon now
That tomorrow, chooses you for a wife
That tomorrow, sun, happy and blue
What a day

Tomorrow, takes a night
That tomorrow, summery and soft
That tomorrow, sunlight and laugh
What a day

You’re a night away from me, day away from me
Hour of my life, such a time takes long without you
I was for a very long time underway, for a long time underway
An endless road, such a time takes long without you
My far-away wife

Tomorrow, seemed like an idea
That tomorrow, you didn’t come with me
That tomorrow, became a cliché
Of a day

Tomorrow, the grass will smell again
That tomorrow, when you were there
That tomorrow, sad farce
Of a day

You stayed that night away from me, day away from me
Stayed out of my life, the end came suddenly without you
I was in vain underway, for a long time underway
An endless road, the end came suddenly without you

You stayed a night away from me, day away from me
Stayed out of my life, the end came suddenly without you
I was in vain underway, for a long time underway
An endless road, the end came suddenly without you
My far-away wife
