Lyrics[edit | edit source]
lover darling, when you hold my hand it's all I'll have until tomorrow
lover darling, when you hold my life if you say it's night until tomorrow
lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
lover, lover won't you speak I can barely hear you breathe
lover, angel and the stars at night in a burned out sky until tomorrow
lover, angel with no end in sight and no wings to fly
but you're still there
lover, lover won't you speak I can barely hear you breathe
on the way to the sun
there's a new world that's just begun
I can feel I'm getting older I can feel the years wash over
you're the only one I love
lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
lover, lover won't you speak I can hardly hear you
if you'll say that you'll love me if your heart's one and only
if you'll live with me for just one day until tomorrow
until tomorrow - lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
