Come Tomorrow
Barry Gibb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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, oh come tomorrow
Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
Come tomorrow, oh come tomorrow
The lyrics to Barry Gibb's song "Come Tomorrow" are about the singer's love for someone and their willingness to be there for them through thick and thin. The song begins by asking if the person is ready for the day that they pray for, and if they're already holding onto what's real. The singer believes that the soul finds its own evolution, and that the love they feel is the only one that matters.
The singer then talks about how they're keeping up their strength to try and not let the person get past their heart. They're waiting for the person with everything they have to give, and they accept the life they live, even though they want more with the person they love. The singer then goes on to say that they'll be the person's lover and friend, their hero and clown. They want to follow the person right to the end and make them realize the truth about their love.
The song continues with the singer talking about how they weren't made to tell lies, and they'll give the person everything they have if it means they can be together. They beg the person not to make them stumble or wait because tomorrow might be too late. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "come tomorrow", urging the person to come back and be with the singer.

'Cause come tomorrow, will be too late
We need to act now because tomorrow might be too late
I got to turn away my face
I find it hard to face you sometimes because of how much you mean to me
'Cause you blind me with your light
Your presence radiates so much light that it's overwhelming
Can you catch up to me?
Do you understand how I feel about you?
You know I love you in the black of night
You know I love you even in the dark times
This sacred ritual, this journey has begun
We've started on this sacred journey together
And we try, we try to carry on
We're trying our best to keep going
And you innocents, you get to find the things in life
You, being young and innocent, will soon find the things in life that will give you comfort and joy
That get you through (One more dance)
Those things will get you through the tough times (let's dance one more time)
And deep inside, the things you were
What you were like deep in your soul
No one ever knew (One last chance)
No one ever knew that side of you (one last opportunity)
Let me make it happen
Let me make our dreams come true
This world we have foreseen (Ooh)
This world we've always known was destined for us
And I will tell you how I feel
I will be honest with you about how I truly feel
Love will be better for wearing your ring
My love for you will be stronger if we're officially together
I'm gonna give you everything
I'm willing to give you everything I have, including my heart
Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
Tomorrow, the day we're hoping for, will come
Come tomorrow, come back tomorrow
Tomorrow, please come back to me
Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
Tomorrow, we'll get another chance
Come tomorrow, ah, come tomorrow
Tomorrow, I'll be here for you

S Robin Dittrich
Nice. Very warm and romantic. Barry Gibb is such a genius. He has created the perfect pop rock setting for Barbra. Her voice is like she is the Gibbs' brothers sister. Her voice blends so effortlessly with what Barry creates for her. This is a Guilty Pleasure indeed.
