Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to see the sun
Don't want to see the sunrise
'Cause when the morning comes
It'll take you away from me
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone
So far away from me
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone
See, how the sunlight fades away
It's the end of our last day
My final night with you
One last kiss that underscores
That I'm forever yours
Will you miss me when you go?
Promise me, you'll wait for me
Don't want to see the sunrise
I don't want to see the sun
Don't want to see the sunrise
'Cause when the morning comes
It'll take you away from me
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone
So far away from me,
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone
Look, how my smile tries to disguise
What you're reading in my eyes
At the breaking of the day
One last gaze at the stars above
This is more than summer love
Will you miss me when you go?
Promise me, you'll wait for me
Don't want to see the sunrise
I don't want to see the sun
Don't want to see the sunrise
'Cause when the morning comes
It'll take you away from me
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone
So far away from me
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone

Don't want to see the sunrise
I don't want the day to come
I don't want to see the sun
I don't want to face reality
Don't want to see the sunrise
I'm not ready for tomorrow
'Cause when the morning comes
It signifies the end of our time together
It'll take you away from me
You'll have to leave me and go away
Oh, tomorrow you'll be gone
You'll be far away and out of reach
So far away from me
You'll be physically distant from me
See, how the sunlight fades away
The day is ending and there's no going back
It's the end of our last day
Our time together is almost over
My final night with you
This is the last chance for us to be together
One last kiss that underscores
A goodbye kiss that marks the end
That I'm forever yours
I'll always love you
Will you miss me when you go?
Do you feel the same way about me?
Promise me, you'll wait for me
I want you to be loyal to me, even if we're apart
Look, how my smile tries to disguise
I'm pretending to be happy even though I'm sad
What you're reading in my eyes
My true emotions are reflected in my eyes
At the breaking of the day
As the sun rises and our time together ends
One last gaze at the stars above
One final moment to share together
This is more than summer love
Our relationship is deeper than a summer fling
