On 8 December, she made it to the final, becoming the first female over 25s contestant to achieve this feat, along with Nicholas McDonald and Luke Friend. On 14 December, she duetted with X Factor judge Scherzinger and was later announced as the winner singing Skyscraper by Demi Lovato. The following day, she became the first "Over" to win the competition since Steve Brookstein did so in 2004.
No Tomorrow
Sam Bailey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look what you've done for me
All that′s become of me
That is thanks to you
I know who I am,
You help me understand
That you have to find yourself
Before you find your man
Love you like there's no tomorrow
Can′t help feeling why
Love you like there′s no tomorrow
When I needed a miracle
You came shining through
And when tomorrow comes,
Baby I'd be loving you
You were there, somewhere in my soul
Lighting the way for me
Facing each day with me
I found out when the stars aligned
Lucky me, you′re mine
I don't wanna waste a minute
After all this time
From now on I′m gonna try
Love you like there's no tomorrow
Can′t help feeling why
Love you like there's no tomorrow
When I needed a miracle
You came shining through
And when tomorrow comes,
Baby I'd be loving you
When I needed a miracle
You came shining through
Yes, you did
And when tomorrow comes,
Baby I′d be loving you
I′m gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Gonna love you like there′s no tomorrow
