A drastic rewrite of an old lyric with music added - at last.
Lyrics
This Time Tomorrow
I refuse to be a mirror
Reflecting back at you
Your dream that we could make this work
A dream I know that won’t come true
I’d be cheating if I told you
Just the things you want to hear
I know that you would take them in
So I need to make this clear
Chorus:
This time tomorrow I’ll be gone;
a simple fact that you need to understand.
If you want I’ll take the blame
and you can spit and curse my name,
cry for hours or sing your saddest song:
- but this time tomorrow I’ll be gone
- this time tomorrow I’ll be gone
You have tried so hard to change me,
And to help me settle down
To tease away the country boy
And make me happy in this town
I know for you that I’m the one
I can see that in your eyes
And I wish that I could say the same
But I’d be telling lies
Chorus:
This time tomorrow I’ll be gone;
a simple fact that you need to understand.
If you want I’ll take the blame
and you can spit and curse my name,
cry for hours or sing your saddest song:
- but this time tomorrow I’ll be gone
- this time tomorrow I’ll be gone
Bridge:
I have tried by best, believe me
And I fooled myself I would
Become that person you see in me
Truth is, I never could
Chorus:
This time tomorrow I’ll be gone;
a simple fact that you need to understand.
If you want I’ll take the blame
and you can spit and curse my name,
cry for hours or sing your saddest song:
- but this time tomorrow I’ll be gone
- this time tomorrow I’ll be gone
