TILL TOMORROW

Music & lyrics by Don MvLean 1971

----------------------------------------------------------

What can this be - can you tell me

Would you like to discover

Why we're not free - to be lovers

I've been wanting to ask you

 

Where has all the love gone

And what have we become

Storm clouds full of thunder

Move silent as they drum

 

And when they're gone, we'll be fine - till tomorrow

Oh I hope it won't rain

You will be mine - and my sorrow

Will take wings in the morning

 

High above the heavens

A rainbow paints the sky

White doves sing their songs of love

I watch them as they fly - and wonder

 

What can this be - can you tell me

Would you like to discover

Why we're not free - to be lovers...
