[00:00:15] Tomorrow you'll be here my love

[00:00:19] Tomorrow we'll be one

[00:00:22] Tomorrow we can follow through

[00:00:26] On all that we've begun

[00:00:29] Tomorrow we'll be free my love

[00:00:33] We'll never be afraid

[00:00:46] Daddy bought a store out in pittsburgh

[00:00:49] And he called his boss and quit

[00:00:52] And we tried to convince him

[00:00:54] The risk was too much

[00:00:56] But he still was convinced

[00:00:57] Of his own midas touch

[00:00:59] So he bought this piece of sh*t

[00:01:10] I packed up and went off to princeton

[00:01:13] With a scholarship in hand

[00:01:16] Well I'd call up my folks every weekend or so

[00:01:20] And I'd tell them how college was helping me grow

[00:01:23] Which was just what they had planned

[00:01:26] And then I met this girl named Amy

[00:01:30] With a smile as bright as day

[00:01:33] And while the pirates beat the Orioles

[00:01:36] We fell in love and danced the night away

[00:01:41] Tomorrow we'll be free my love

[00:01:44] We'll never be afraid

[00:01:48] And we were dancing

[00:01:55] The world was dancing

[00:02:02] Dancing

[00:02:14] Daddy lost his shirt out in pittsburgh

[00:02:16] As my sophomore year rolled round

[00:02:19] Well he had hired some schmuck

[00:02:21] That he knew from the war

[00:02:23] And one weekend he left him

[00:02:25] In charge of the store

[00:02:27] And he burned it to the ground

[00:02:30] And then I met this girl named Lisa

[00:02:33] On a couch at Alpha-Mu

[00:02:37] But then she transferred to macalester

[00:02:40] So it's just as well that Amy never knew

[00:02:44] Tomorrow we'll be free my love

[00:02:48] We'll never be afraid

[00:02:52] And we were dancing

[00:02:59] The world was dancing

[00:03:06] Dancing

[00:03:40] Daddy got his job back that summer

[00:03:43] So he hid his pride and pain

[00:03:46] And they threw him a party

[00:03:48] And baked him a cake

[00:03:50] And they sent me a ticket

[00:03:51] To come winter break

[00:03:53] But I guess I missed the plane

[00:03:56] And since I'd spent so long with Amy

[00:04:00] We got ourselves engaged

[00:04:03] But then I thought

[00:04:04] I can't

[00:04:05] This can't be right

[00:04:07] Cause dreams get burned down overnight

[00:04:11] I wasn't quite prepared to choose

[00:04:13] To take that risk and maybe lose

[00:04:17] And since I couldn't tell her why

[00:04:20] I hit the road

[00:04:22] And never said goodbye

[00:04:24] Tomorrow you'll be here my love

[00:04:28] Tomorrow we'll be one

[00:04:31] Tomorrow we can follow through

[00:04:35] On all that we've begun

[00:04:38] Tomorrow we'll be free my love

[00:04:42] We'll never be

[00:04:45] Afraid

[00:04:49] And I was dancing

[00:04:51] And I was dancing

[00:04:57] And they were dancing

[00:05:00] And I was dancing

[00:05:04] The world was dancing

[00:05:17] Dancing
