Come Tomorrow
Barbra Streisand / Donna Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you ready for the day that we pray for
Already holding what is real?
You know the soul finds its own evolution
And this is the only love I feel

And I tell you, I'm keeping up the strength
I gotta try 'cause you ain't getting past this heart of mine
I'm out here waiting for you with all I've got to give
And I accept this life we live

I'll be your lover and I'll be your friend
I'm gonna follow you right to the end
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize

I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
You pick me up, you let me down
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow, will be too late

Come tomorrow, oh, come tomorrow

I got to turn away my face
'Cause you blind me with your light
Can you catch up to me?
You know I love you in the black of night
This sacred ritual, this journey has begun
And we try, we try to carry on

And you innocents, you get to find the things in life
That get you through
(One more dance)
And deep inside, the things you were
No one ever knew

(One last chance)
Let me make it happen
This world we have foreseen
(Ooh)
And I will tell you how I feel

Love will be better for wearing your ring
I'm gonna give you everything
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize

I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
You pick me up, you let me down
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow, will be too late

Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
Come tomorrow, come back tomorrow




Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
Come tomorrow, ah, come tomorrow

It's raining, it's pouring
My lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years
No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance
We don't stand a chance
I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
Our love, our love
Raining (raining)
Pouring (pouring)
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waste another tear
Ah, yeah
If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you do it
If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
Tell him to just get out
Nothing left to talk about
Pack his raincoat show him out
Just look him in the eye and simply shout
Enough is enough (is enough)
I can't go on, I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough (is enough)
I want him out, I want him out that door now
I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
Our love (I had no choice from the start)
Our love
Our love (I've gotta listen to my heart)
Our love (Tearing us apart)
Our love, ooh
Enough is enough (is enough)
I can't go on, I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough (is enough)
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye sugar
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
I've had it, we've had it, you've had it, he's had it
No more tears
Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough

When singers didn't need auto-tune because they had voices, range, power and control.
