Underneath your dreamlit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here
Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives
Another day - another night
Has taken you again my dear
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...

Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea

Last night while you were
Lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world
Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes

Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea

And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...

Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
