Tomorrow Seems So Long

I don’t know what you want, you don't see me all the time
and you aren’t always there.
I’ve got the right, to ask you if you’ll ever change
I need a stepping stone.
	
	This is the story, this is the life
	This is the water, this is the knife

I remember the night, we made love in the pouring rain
and promised to return.
We were happy as sin, and you were like a dream to me
it seemed just like a dream.

	This is the story, this is the life
	This is the water, this is the knife

	Long distance calling, flying on a change of plan. (2nd time: change of heart)
	Is it why you called?
	No, I saw you on a T.V. show (2nd: movie screen)
	I feel so lonely, tomorrow seems so long
	I want to be your own.
	When will I be there for you?

This is so typical, we can’t agree to disagree without a puppeteer.
We were lucky in love. I never will forget that night.
When did we change?

	This is the story, this is the life
	This is the water, this is the knife
	
	Repeat 1st Chorus

	I’ll give you magic, I’ll give you dreams of love
	Did you change your mind?
	No, I’m only tryin’ to make you say, “I want you to love me.“. 
	But time is slipping away. Would you take me back?
	(and she said) In a blizzard on a summer night.
