lyrics

Darling, dance with me
And we’ll sway like the wind and the trees
With our hands intertwined, and our hearts side by side
And the delicate sound of our sighs

You will bear my children
And we’ll teach them the things that we know
The things that we lost from the people we trust
And the things that we’ll never let go

We’ll dream they’ll all flourish in fame
But they’ll all strive to be ordinary
And they’ll say things to spite us,
To fight and defy us
But we will love them always

And I’ll turn to you when all darkness ensues
When the treasures of life dissipate
But you’ll be unphased by the world’s soulless games
Saying “baby, tomorrow’s a new day”

Our family will instantly grow
When our kids have kids of their own
Their hearts grow less colder when their babies grow older
For fear that they will live alone

So we’ll give them the guidance they seek
When their hearts become weary and weak
And we’ll give them our strength when they fall on their face
From the weight of the baggage they’ve made

And I’ll turn to you when my rage has commenced
When the sun’s gone, and darkness descends
But you’ll be unphased by my withering state
Saying “baby, tomorrow’s a new day”

As we finally shake hands with old age
When our hair turns a light shade of grey
I’ll look back on our past, with a smile and a laugh
But you don’t seem to do the same



Your mind starts to sink far below
The roots where our true love has grown
That look in your eyes, and that beautiful smile
Do not have that familiar glow

And you’ll turn to me,
Thoughtless and scared
When somewhere and something
Become nothing, and nowhere

I’ll battle my pain, and triumph unphased
Saying “baby, tomorrow’s a new day.”
