Save Your Sorrow

"Save Your Sorrow (For Tomorrow)" is a popular song first published in 1925 written by Tin Pan Alley tunesmiths, Al Sherman and B.G.DeSylva.

Upon arriving home from the hospital, Al discovered the first royalty check from "Save Your Sorrow" in his mailbox and was therefore able to pay the bill.

At the sight of all that much needed money, and with son Robert due in a couple of months, Mom burst into happy tears.

But when Bob was born, the advance didn't stretch far enough to pay all the hospital bills.

"Save your Sorrow" was used as the opening theme to the popular radio sitcom Fibber McGee and Molly from 1935 to 1940.
