Until Those Tomorrows Came
When I was a child,
I use to play.
But I grew up...
And left those days.
When I matured,
I learned to pray.
I needed...
To be more brave!
I've had my heroes all around.
And dreamed to make them proud,
Of me.
And do good deeds.
I remember watching them.
Each step they took,
I followed.
And borrowed,
Until...
Those tomorrows came.
When I was a child,
I use to play.
But I grew up...
And left those days.
When I matured,
I learned to pray.
I needed...
To be more brave!
I've had my heroes all around.
And dreamed to make them proud,
Of me.
And do good deeds.
Each step they took,
I followed.
And borrowed,
Until...
Those tomorrows came.
When I matured,
I learned to pray.
I needed...
To be more brave!
Until...
Those tomorrows came.
I needed,
To be more brave!
Until...
Those tomorrows came.
Until...
Those tomorrows came.
Those tomorrows,
Came!

Tommorows Just Another Day
Trying hard, I thought Id done my best
All my life, I cant get no rest
Some whove closed the door before
Say I cant carry on no more.
I hear them saying
Tomorrows just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrows just another day
Listened long, tried to take it in
All these facts leave me in the swim
Its down and down there is no up
I think that Ive run out of luck.
I hear them saying
Tomorrows just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrows just another day
Tomorrows just another... day
Walking now, over covered ground
There is a chance if I move around
I need a moment to reflect
On the friendships I have wrecked.
Why is it i, dont I always try ?
I hear them say
Tomorrows just another day
I hear them say
And it gets better every day
I hear them say
Tomorrows just another day
I hear them say
And it gets better every day
I heard them say
Tomorrows just another day
I hear them say
Tomorrows just another day
Tomorrows just another...
I hear them saying
Tomorrows just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrows just another day

Dandelion
Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your pedals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run I won't hide
Just letting you know
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

Tomorrow
We don’t know what tomorrow may bring
But we want something that will make our hearts sing.
And the things that will make our hearts sing
Is the beautiful memories that it brings.
What is tomorrow but another day
Another day of living, another day of giving
Another day of sharing, another day of caring.
All of our tomorrows will be yesterdays
And all our yesterdays are our pasts
And it will be another memory that will last.
Watching all the Doo wop groups of yester year
On wpbt made me feel old as can be.
With each tomorrow brings you closer to old age
And your life will never be the same.
I will take all my tomorrows and hold them
Like a newborn child, and give thanks to god above
For showing me how to love.
And when my tomorrows become my yester years
With everyone that I know, these memories I will share.

Time Will Call Your Name
Music : rudolf schenker
Lyrics: klaus meine
Theyre days that make you fly
Theyre days you wanna cry
Sometimes the walls come tumbling down
Theyre moments in the dark
When pain just floods your heart
And you surrender one more time
Just take a walk out in the rain
With every drop that falls
You know the sun will shine again
Theyre days youre naturally high
Theyre days you wanna die
Sometimes your world goes down in flames
Theyre moments deep in love
But when it breaks your heart
You just surrender one more time
Just take a walk out in the rain
With every step you make
You learn that life means constant change
Tomorrows all that counts
As life goes round n round
You gotta draw the line
Goodbye yesterday
Tomorrows all that counts
As life goes round n round
And if you keep the faith
Time will call your name
Take a walk out in the rain
With every breath you take
You feel your soul is free again
Tomorrows all that counts
As life goes round n round
You gotta draw the line
Goodbye yesterday
Tomorrows all that counts
As life goes round n round
And if you keep the faith
Time will call your name
Tomorrows all that counts
As life goes round n round
You gotta draw the line
Goodbye yesterday
Tomorrows all that counts
As life goes round n round
And if you keep the faith
Time will call your name

Tomorrows Girls
Our town is just like any other
Good citizens at work and play
Normal folks doin business in the normal way
This morning was like any other
Mommies kissing daddies goodbye
Then the milkman screamed
And pointed up at the sky
Chorus:
From sheilus to the reefs of kizmar
From stargate and the outer worlds
Theyre speeding towards our sun
Theyre on a party run
Here come tomorrows girls
Tomorrows girls
You see them on the grass at lunch hour
Soaking up the vertical rays
In their summer dresses
A little smile can really make your day
Their kisses feel like real kisses
And when they cry they cry real tears
But whats left in your arms
When the static clears
Chorus:
Theyre landing on the jersey beaches
Their engines make the white sand swirl
The heat is so intense
Earth men have no defense
Against tomorrows girls
In the cool of the evening
In the last light of the triple sun
I wait by the go-tree
When the days busy work is done
Soon the warm night breezes
Start rolling in off the sea
Yes, at lantern time
Thats when you come to me
Come to me
Our home is just like any other
Were grillin burgers on the back lawn
Some time goes by
We fall asleep with the tv on
I dream about a laughing angel
Then the laugh becomes a furious whine
Look out fellas
Its shredding time
Chorus:
Theyre mixing with the population
A virus wearing pumps and pearls
Lord help the lonely guys
Hooked by those hungry eyes
Here come tomorrows girls
Tomorrows girls
Chorus:
From sheilus to the reefs of kizmar
From stargate and the outer worlds
Theyre speeding towards our sun
Theyre on a party run
Here come tomorrows girls

Todays teardrops are tomorrows rainbows and tomorrows rainbows we will
Share me and you so dry your eyes, little girl, dry your eyes,
And were gonna see skies of blue yeah, yeah, yeah
Had a tough time gettin started, maybe youre just a little downhearted
All you gotta do is a count to 10, baby youll be smiling when,

And were gonna see skies of blue yeah, yeah, yeah

Gonna be just a love of gladness, dont wanna hear nothin bout sadness
Come a little closer come a to me, with each kiss youre gonna see

And were gonna see skies of blue yeah, yeah, yeah

All Tomorrows Parties
(reed)
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrows parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrows parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
Shell turn once more to sundays clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrows parties
Why silks and linens of yesterdays gowns
To all tomorrows parties
And what will she do with thursdays rags
When monday comes around
Shell turn once more to sundays clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrows parties
For thursdays child is sundays clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrows parties

Coming Of Happy Tomorrows
COMING OF HAPPY TOMORRWS
Dark clouds decorated by silver lining
Floating across gray skies promising
For all those struggling in shadows
About the coming of happy tomorrows
Colors of the splayed sunlight
In the pouring rain shining bright
For all those wondering at the rainbow
About the comings of happy tomorrows
Barks of the bare oak tree
Showing signs of spirit in free
In the wings of flying sparrows
About the comings of happy tomorrows
Smiles of the blooming flowers of spring
Stirring up emotions making bees sing
For all those hiding in burrows
About the comings of happy tomorrows
Gurgles of the streams in flow
Keeping its ripples as wind blows
Calling out for those in bellows
About the comings of happy tomorrows
Glow of sparks underneath the ashes
Shining like stars making a wish
For those deep in the wallow
About the comings of happy tomorrows

Life's Wishes

Wishing that they would be today
Now that we are old and wiser
And our tomorrows are reality
We now wish for yesterdays

That nobody knows
I know that nobody knows
what the future really holds
and that the yesterdays stay behind
and the tomorrows wait for themselves
and I only ask: give me today.
Let me now read love
in your eyes
and let this day be
like the only time
that I am here.
Nothing I can do to yesterday
and about the tomorrows
only destiny knows
which determines it
and here and now
is what I actually have.

Its Better This Way
Answers can come too late
And time is not one to wait
I no longer believe
Feelings of deep despair
I tell myself I dont care
It wasnt meant to be
Maybe its better this way
Maybe its better than the games we used to play
Maybe its better this way
Wont give in to fear of falling
When I hear tomorrow calling
If I should fee the need
You know that my heart must bleed
I will not touch that phone
And maybe Ill mourn my loss
But after the caring stops
Desire turns to stone
Pride has taken hold of me
I must escape this apathy
And should wake to deep regret, Id suffer
cos I stand alone
And if there was any doubt
That this was the one way out
Id never let you go
Tomorrows calling, tomorrows calling
My fear of falling - dont be afraid
Tomorrows calling

Tomorrows
Ah, tomorrow and tomorrows!
A procrastinators' catchall
future days that he will borrow
freely to do nothing at all;
but presently those days will dawn
calling due his declarations;
promises he'll not keep thereon:
deliberate fabrications.
His wishy-washy character
lacks effectiveness and purpose;
his favorite word is "later"
which can be defined as fruitless.
Is there any hope for him? No!
as long as there are tomorrows.

Tomorrow's Gonna Be A Brighter Day
Well Im sorry for the words that I told you
But words only go so far
And if I had my way, Id reach into heaven
And pull you down a star, for a present
And Id make you a chain of diamonds
And pearls from a summer sea,
But all I can give you is a kiss in the morning
And a sweet apology.
But tomorrows gonna be a brighter day
There gonna be some changes
Tomorrows gonna be a brighter day
This time you can believe me.
No more cryin in your lonely room,
No more empty nights.
Tomorrow morning everything will be alright
Now, I know that it hasnt been easy
And I havent always been around
To say the right things and hold you in the morning
And help you when youre down, and in trouble.
And I never showed you much of a good time,
But baby, things are going to change.
Im going to make up for all of the hurt I cause,
Gonna love away all your pain
And tomorrows gonna be a brighter day
There gonna be some changes
Tomorrows gonna be a brighter day
This time you can believe me.
No more cryin in your lonely room,
No more empty nights.
Tomorrow morning everything will be alright
Come on tomorrow, come on tomorrow..fade

Nicu
1st verse
Appendages flailing running at me, ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me.
The devious gelatin holding me fast, miraculous now you let me ooze past.
Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze, the tip of stalactites incising my
Knees.
A slipper of sand dollar day at the shore, the next evening at home that i
Dread even more.
Chorus
Would you please make clear to me, Im peering out through your opacity.
Though youve rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if I dont sing your key.
2nd verse
Look back on those days when my life was a haze, gelatin lay on a truncated
Sleigh.
Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank, from a freemasons cranked to the
Overflow tank.
Bane of the weasel for biting is fun, jump on the turnstile and watch me go
Round.
Swim with the cactus and float with the stone, I try to convey what you strive
To condone.
Chorus
Would you please make clear to me, Im peering out through your opacity.
Though youve rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if I dont sing in your key.
Play it leo!
Chorus
Would you please make clear to me, Im peering out through your opacity.
Though youve rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if I dont sing in your key.
Would you please make clear to me, why nothing is the first thing that I see.
And if you do, and I see you, then you will be the nothing left for me.
Would you please make clear to me, why nothing is the first thing that I see.
And if you do, and I see you, then you will be the nothing left for me.

No More Looking Over My Shoulder
Written by Michael Peterson & Craig Wiseman
As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing
Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said
Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing
But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread
Yeah
Seems like every choice I made would somehow leave me second-guessing
'Bout the green grass I was passing racing toward the other side
I thank God for the blessing
That I finally learned this lesson:
One Step in the right direction's worth a wasted mile behind
Chorus:
Singin'
No more lookin' over my shoulder
No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder
I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness
To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul
I kept dragging 'round those memories
Like a ball and chain behind me
Wonderin' why my troubles followed me wherever I would go
Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired
I realized forgiveness was the only open road
I swear I heard those shackles snap
The moment that I took that path
I never have one time looked back since the morning I arose
Chorus
I'm singin'
No more lookin' over my shoulder
No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more, no more, no...
No more lookin' over my shoulder
No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder

Good Disaster
I cant do this any better
I dont have the right to try
I cant get there any faster
Watch the hours go by
Werent you in mississippi
Werent you rude to my friend
You could have covered for me
She paid to see your band
My mother never liked you
My brother felt the same
They all saw right through you
Before I knew you were lame
Run little one, away from what you started
Something will come of all tomorrows parties
Oh all tomorrows parties
We could have had so much...fun
Another good disaster
I love to fall apart
They tell me Im the master
Of loving and losing heart

Operator number please.
Its been so many years.
And shell remember my old voice.
While I fight the tears.
Hello, hello there is this martha?
This is old tom frost.
And I am calling long distance.
Dont worry about the cost.
Its been 40 years or more.
Now martha please recall.
And meet me out for coffee.
Where well talk about it all.
And those were days of roses.
Poetry and prose and martha.
And all I had was you and all you had was me.
And there was no tomorrows.
As we packed away our sorrows.
And we saved it for a rainy day.
And I feel so much older now.
And youre much older too.
Oh hows the husband hows the kids?
You know that I got married too!
Oh lucky that ya found someone.
To make ya feel secure.
Oh cause we were all so young and foolish.
And now we are mature.
And those were days of roses.
Poetry and prose and martha.
And all I had was you and all you had was me.
And there was no tomorrows.
As we packed away our sorrows.
And we saved it for a rainy day.
And I was so implusive.
I guess that I still am.
But all that really mattered then.
Was that I was a man.
I guess that our being together.
Was never meant to be.
Oh but martha, martha I love you.
Cant you see.
And those were days of roses.
Poetry and prose and martha.
And all I had was you and all you had was me.
And there was no tomorrows.
As we packed away our sorrows.
And we saved it for a rainy day.
And I remember quiet evenings.
Trembling close to you.

I’d Give All My Tomorrows
I’d give all my tomorrows
for just one yesterday.
A day when I was young
before the world took it away.
When there were no cares
on my shoulders
and no worries
inside my head.
A day when life was free
and easy to live.
So, if I could give all my tomorrows
for just one yesterday
before my memories fade
and they are taken away.

The Stars Look Familiar
I dreamed of the stars so much, they seem familiar
Like once what was your lovers touch, just reached back to kill ya
and if I ever go astray, I'll say that I knew ya
Tomorrows same as yesterday, so what good will that do ya
To fall upon ourselves each night
and crawl like vampires from the light
and later on well they all say
They never cared much anyway
I've dreamed of myself so much, I must seem familiar
Like once what was my lovers touch, reached out to thrill ya
and if we ever go astray, I'll say that I knew ya
Tomorrows the same as yesterday, what good will that do ya
You're on your marks and off your face
Hung out in some exotic place
and in your hand but out of reach
Once more you go into the breach
We fall upon ourselves each night
and crawl like vampires from the light
and later on well they all say
They never made much anyway
and I dreamed of the stars so much, they seem familiar
like once what was your lovers touch, just reached back to kill ya
But if you ever went astray, I'd say that I knew ya
tomorrows same as yesterday, so what good will that do ya
You're on your marks and off your face
Hung out in some exotic place
But out of reach within your hand
Is something you don't understand
