Love Me Tomorrow
Chicago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, "it's lonely here tonight"
She's always sad when she's alone
She said, "I need you here tonight"
She couldn't wait until I get home

She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said

Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?

You know it's always cold at night
It's always lonely until the dawn
And though it's not what we both want
Knowing she's there, I'll carry on

She loves me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said

Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you more than any words can say

She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said

Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday

Bill Champlin was new in the band.

David Foster's touch was magic.

David + Peter = sound from heaven.

Video clip was taken on the same day with Hard to Say I'm Sorry clip.

Already 39 years ago, time flies and suddenly I'm feeling old now 😁.

I think you have excellent taste. If it's ok for me to say. Great band singing a great song,!!!!

@ashlynborum2

The musical break from to 2:50 to 3:18 is one of the best orchestral stretches I have ever heard. The strings and piano, the brass, and even Cetera’s bass work (which is actually a bit easier to hear on the four-minute single version of this song) are just outstanding.

@herbertwedelmann395

Vocal break !

@henrythegreatamerican8136

What's hilarious is you never see anyone playing those orchestra instruments in these types of videos.
