I slip out the backdoor into the night
I can still feel the sun on my bare feet tonight
I am waiting to meet you
And waiting to see if you feel the same way about me

Back in the 70's
We were children of freedom
Believing we'd make a difference when our time would come
And in the darkness
When the 4th grade movie played
Our fingers touched together promising one day that

Tomorrow I will be yours
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low 
Tomorrow I will be yours
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low

I think I fell in love with you
When we always tied for first
In clothes with holes and shoes too old and covered in dirt
Always making me laugh
Now you're, you're making me cry
Your parents made some money and sent you away
To a private prep school high

Tomorrow I will be yours
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low
Tomorrow I will be yours
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low

I slip out the backdoor and into the night
To the elm tree we promised we'd meet here tonight
I have opened the skin with my grandmothers pin
And we vowed under the stars to never forget

Midnight Orion is clear in the sky
I can feel you come closer to kiss me goodnight
Oh, please kiss me and hold me and have me again
You're the one that I wanted

Tomorrow I will be yours 
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low
Tomorrow I will be yours 
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low

Tomorrow I will be yours 
Tomorrow I will be yours

Tomorrow I will be yours 
Tomorrow I will be yours
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I slip out the backdoor and into the night
All the years now between us dividing our lives
I hear that you married in New Orleans
And I wonder if you wonder still about me

Slip out the backdoor and into the night
To the elm tree I go and I laugh at Orion
"Cause there in the bark lies our hearts in the tree
Side by side
Freshly carved
Not by me
