Tomorrow you'll be here my love[00:00:15]
Tomorrow we'll be one[00:00:19]
Tomorrow we can follow through[00:00:22]
On all that we've begun[00:00:26]
Tomorrow we'll be free my love[00:00:29]
We'll never be afraid[00:00:33]
Daddy bought a store out in pittsburgh[00:00:46]
And he called his boss and quit[00:00:49]
And we tried to convince him[00:00:52]
The risk was too much[00:00:54]
But he still was convinced[00:00:56]
Of his own midas touch[00:00:57]
So he bought this piece of sh*t[00:00:59]
I packed up and went off to princeton[00:01:10]
With a scholarship in hand[00:01:13]
Well I'd call up my folks every weekend or so[00:01:16]
And I'd tell them how college was helping me grow[00:01:20]
Which was just what they had planned[00:01:23]
And then I met this girl named Amy[00:01:26]
With a smile as bright as day[00:01:30]
And while the pirates beat the Orioles[00:01:33]
We fell in love and danced the night away[00:01:36]
Tomorrow we'll be free my love[00:01:41]
We'll never be afraid[00:01:44]
And we were dancing[00:01:48]
The world was dancing[00:01:55]
Dancing[00:02:02]
Daddy lost his shirt out in pittsburgh[00:02:14]
As my sophomore year rolled round[00:02:16]
Well he had hired some schmuck[00:02:19]
That he knew from the war[00:02:21]
And one weekend he left him[00:02:23]
In charge of the store[00:02:25]
And he burned it to the ground[00:02:27]
And then I met this girl named Lisa[00:02:30]
On a couch at Alpha-Mu[00:02:33]
But then she transferred to macalester[00:02:37]
So it's just as well that Amy never knew[00:02:40]
Tomorrow we'll be free my love[00:02:44]
We'll never be afraid[00:02:48]
And we were dancing[00:02:52]
The world was dancing[00:02:59]
Dancing[00:03:06]
Daddy got his job back that summer[00:03:40]
So he hid his pride and pain[00:03:43]
And they threw him a party[00:03:46]
And baked him a cake[00:03:48]
And they sent me a ticket[00:03:50]
To come winter break[00:03:51]
But I guess I missed the plane[00:03:53]
And since I'd spent so long with Amy[00:03:56]
We got ourselves engaged[00:04:00]
But then I thought[00:04:03]
I can't[00:04:04]
This can't be right[00:04:05]
Cause dreams get burned down overnight[00:04:07]
I wasn't quite prepared to choose[00:04:11]
To take that risk and maybe lose[00:04:13]
And since I couldn't tell her why[00:04:17]
I hit the road[00:04:20]
And never said goodbye[00:04:22]
Tomorrow you'll be here my love[00:04:24]
Tomorrow we'll be one[00:04:28]
Tomorrow we can follow through[00:04:31]
On all that we've begun[00:04:35]
Tomorrow we'll be free my love[00:04:38]
We'll never be[00:04:42]
Afraid[00:04:45]
And I was dancing[00:04:49]
And I was dancing[00:04:51]
And they were dancing[00:04:57]
And I was dancing[00:05:00]
The world was dancing[00:05:04]
Dancing[00:05:17]
