The Day Will Come
Freddie Gorman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day will come
When you, you will love
Yes you're gonna love
A boy like me

And the day will come
When you you will cry
Yes you're gonna cry
For a boy like me

But when it dawns on you
I hope it won't be too late
For I may be wrapped up in a love affair
Without an escape
But right now
My love is boiling over for you
Don't make me wait
Oh whoa oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa

The day will come
When you you desire
Your heart will be on fire
For a boy like me

And the day will come
When you you'll need a friend
A friend until the end
I mean a boy like me

I'll be looking for the day
I'll be looking for the day
I'll be looking for the day
When you come my way
I'll be looking for the day
Don't make me wait yeah




I'll be looking for the day
Yeah when you come my way
