Tomorrow I Will Be Yours

I slip out the backdoor into the night

I can still feel the sun on my bare feet tonight

I am waiting to meet you

And waiting to see if you feel the same way about me

Back in the 70's

We were children of freedom

Believing we'd make a difference when our time would come

And in the darkness

When the 4th grade movie played

Our fingers touched togethe promising one day...that...

Tomorrow I will be yours

Tomorrow I will be yours

Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low (so low or solo??)

I think I fell in love with ya

When we always tied for first

In clothes with holes and shoes too old and covered in dirt

Always makin' me laugh

Now you're - you're making me cry

Your parents made some money and sent you away

To a private prep school high...but

I slip out the backdoor and into the night

To the elm tree we promised we'd meet here tonight

I have opened the skin with my grandmothers pin

And we vowed under the stars to never forget

Midnight Orion is clear in the sky

I can feel you come closer to kiss me goodnight

Oh please kiss me and hold me and have me again

You're the one that I wanted

Tomorrow I will be yours (4 times)

Out on a boat with the bell from the shore, and the sun so low

Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah

I slip out the backdoor and into the night

All the years now between us dividing our lives

I hear that you married in New Orleans

And I wonder if you wonder still about me

Slip out the backdoor and into the night

To the elm tree I go and I laugh at Orion

"Cause there in the bark lies our hearts in the tree

Side by side

Freshly carved

Not by me
