WOMAN 1:<br>
Tomorrow you'll be here my love <br>
Tomorrow we'll be one <br>
Tomorrow we can follow through <br>
On all that we've begun <br>
Tomorrow we'll be free my love <br>
We'll never be afraid<br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
Daddy bought a store out in Pittsburgh <br>
And he called his boss and quit <br>
And we tried to convince him <br>
The risk was too much <br>
But he still was convinced <br>
Of his own Midas Touch <br>
So he bought this piece of shit <br>
<br>
I packed up and went off to Princeton <br>
With a scholarship in hand <br>
Well, I'd call up my folks every weekend or so <br>
And I'd tell them how college was helping me grow <br>
Which was just what they had planned <br>
<br>
And then I met this girl named Amy <br>
With a smile as bright as day <br>
And while the Pirates beat the Orioles <br>
We fell in love and danced the night away <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1:<br>
Tomorrow we'll be free my love <br>
We'll never be afraid<br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
And we were dancing <br>
The world was dancing <br>
Dancing <br>
<br>
Daddy lost his shirt out in Pittsburgh <br>
As my sophomore year rolled round <br>
Well he had hired some schmuck <br>
That he knew from the war <br>
And one weekend he left him <br>
In charge of the store <br>
And he burned it to the ground <br>
<br>
And then I met this girl named Lisa <br>
On a couch at Alpha-Mu <br>
But then she transferred to Macalester <br>
So it's just as well that Amy never knew <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1:<br>
Tomorrow we'll be free my love <br>
We'll never be afraid<br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
And we were dancing <br>
The world was dancing <br>
Dancing <br>
<br>
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:<br>
La, la, la, la... (etc.)<br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
Daddy got his job back that summer <br>
So he hid his pride and pain <br>
And they threw him a party <br>
And baked him a cake <br>
And they sent me a ticket <br>
To come winter break <br>
But I guess I missed the plane <br>
<br>
And since I'd spent so long with Amy <br>
We got ourselves engaged <br>
But then I thought <br>
I can't,<br>
This can't be right <br>
‘Cause dreams get burned down overnight <br>
I wasn't quite prepared to choose,<br>
To take that risk and maybe lose <br>
And since I couldn't tell her why <br>
I hit the road <br>
And never said goodbye <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1:<br>
Tomorrow you'll be here my love <br>
Tomorrow we'll be one <br>
Tomorrow we can follow through <br>
On all that we've begun <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1 & MAN 2:<br>
Tomorrow we'll be free my love <br>
We'll never be <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1:<br>
Afraid...<br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
And I was dancing <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:<br>
And I was dancing<br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
And they were dancing <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN:<br>
And I was dancing<br>
<br>
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:<br>
The world was dancing <br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
Dancing<br>
<br>
