[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
