Paula Cole - Tomorrow I Will Be Yours lyrics

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 Seventies
We were children of freedom
Believing we'd make a difference when
Our time would come and in the darkness
When the fourth grade movie played
Our fingers touched together 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
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

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 making 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

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
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

I slip out the backdoor and into the night
To the elm tree we promised
We'd meet here tonight
I have opened our skin
With my grandmother's pin
And we vowed under 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
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from
The shore and the sun so low
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
Tomorrow I will be yours
Tomorrow I will be yours
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 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 lie
Our hearts in the tree side by side
Freshly carved not by me
